His interpretation of certain passages in Livy and other classical authors involved him in a dispute with Gronovius, which bore a strong resemblance to that between John Milton and Claudius Salmasius, Gronovius addressing Fabretti as Faber Rusticus, and the latter, in reply, speaking of Gronovius and his " titivilitia ".

Salmasius published no response during his lifetime, but a fragment of a reply was printed posthumously.

His Observations concerning the Original of Government upon Mr Hobbes's Leviathan, Mr Milton against Salmasius, and H. Grotius ' De jure belli ac pacis appeared in 1652.

Milton also claims Salmasius wrote his work only due to being bribed with a " hundred Jacobuses " by the exiled son of Charles, who would later become King Charles II of England.

Here is an excerpt from the beginning of Chapter VIII, where Milton sarcastically asks Salmasius what concern the latter has with what the English do among themselves:

Shortly after his removal to the Netherlands, Salmasius composed ( at the request of Prince Frederick Henry of Nassau ) his treatise on the military system of the Romans ( De re militari Romanorum ), which remained unpublished until 1657.

In it he discusses: the origin and character of the various books, with a consideration of the objections brought against them by the Jews and others ; the quotations from the Old Testament in the New ; the inspiration of the New Testament ( with a refutation of the opinions of Spinoza ); the Greek dialect in which they are written ( against C. Salmasius ); and the Greek manuscripts known at the time, especially Codex Bezae ( Cantabrigiensis ).

Salmasius was born at Semur-en-Auxois in Burgundy.

Salmasius died on September 3, 1653, at Spa.

His anthology was the only one known to Western Europe ( his autograph copy, dated 1301 survives ; the first edition based on his collection was printed in 1494 ) until 1606 when Claudius Salmasius found in the library at Heidelberg a fuller collection based on Cephalas.

It long continued to be the only accessible collection, for although the Palatine manuscript known as the Palatine Anthology, the sole extant copy of the anthology of Cephalas, was discovered in the Palatine library at Heidelberg, and copied by Saumaise ( Salmasius ) in 1606, it was not published until 1776, when it was included in Brunck's Analecta Veterum Poetarum Graecorum.

Salmasius reports seeing the Anacreontea at the library in Heidelberg in 1607.

Claudius Salmasius pointed that Dexippus recorded the death without stating causes.

Salmasius had enemies there: Nikolaes Heinsius, son of his foe Daniel, but also Isaac Vossius ( son of Gerardus ) with whom he had fallen out.

Philibert de la Mare, counsellor of the parlement of Dijon, inherited Salmasius ' manuscripts from his son and wrote a very lengthy life of Salmasius.

The first edition of the Liber Memorialis was published in 1638 by Claudius Salmasius ( Saumaise ) from the Dijon manuscript, now lost, together with the Epitome of Florus.

In 1620 Salmasius published Casaubon's notes on the Augustan History, with copious additions of his own.

The copy made by Salmasius was not, however, published until 1776, when Richard François Philippe Brunck included it in his Analecta.

The Tabula has been widely translated both into European languages and into Arabic ( the latter version published with the Greek text and Latin translation by Claudius Salmasius in 1640 ).

The first edition of the Greek original appeared in Heidelberg, 1601, printed together with similar works of Longus and Parthenius ; another edition was published by Claudius Salmasius in Leiden, 1640, with commentary.

* Claudius Salmasius thought it Egyptian, but never gave the proofs which he promised.

* April 15 – Claudius Salmasius, French classical scholar ( d. 1653 )

Claudius Salmasius is the Latin name of Claude Saumaise ( April 15, 1588-September 3, 1653 ), a French classical scholar.

Returning to Burgundy, Salmasius qualified for the succession to his father's post, which he eventually lost on account of his religion.

Salmasius had an ally in Gerardus Vossius, on religious grounds.

Salmasius withdrew from Sweden in 1651 ; Christina sent warm letters and pressed him to return.

In 1606 or 1607 Salmasius had discovered in the library of the Counts Palatine in Heidelberg the only surviving copy of Cephalas's 10th-century unexpurgated copy of the Greek Anthology, including the 258-poem anthology of homoerotic poems by Straton of Sardis that would eventually become known as the notorious Book 12 of the Greek Anthology.

Salmasius made copies of the newly discovered poems in the Palatine version and began to circulate clandestine manuscript copies of them as the Anthologia Inedita.

Salmasius learned Arabic to qualify himself for the botanical part of his task.

In 1649, in November, appeared the work for which many remember Salmasius best: his royalist tract Defensio regia pro Carolo I provoked by the execution of Charles I.

A French translation ( which speedily appeared under the name of " Claude Le Gros ") was the work of Salmasius himself.

However, Papillon himself used de la Mare's work for his account of Salmasius in his Bibliothèque des auteurs de Bourgogne — by far the best extant.

Papillon included an exhaustive list of Salmasius ' works, both printed and in manuscript.

The editors would reply saying that there is a genius greater than Milton among us.

In 1652, John Phillips published a Latin reply to the anonymous attack on Milton entitled Pro Rege et populo anglicano.

It is thought that John Milton wrote the postscript for Smectymnuus's reply.

In reply, the Prime Minister said that a number of unanswered questions remained, which would be addressed when the case was heard in court.

Ray made an agreement with him, that he would be a Democrat so long as his reply of acceptance remained a secret.

This status quo remained, with Ireland participating little in the British Commonwealth and Éamon de Valera remarking in 1945 that " we are a republic " in reply to the question if he planned to declare Ireland as a republic.

In Levitt's reply in his Freakonomics blog at the New York Times, he notes that while a 2007 study by Jessica Reyes also found that lead had a large effect on violent crime, the same study found that the effect of legalized abortion remained similar in magnitude to that in Levitt's study, and statistically and practically significant ( albeit as one of the lesser factors ), even after controlling for blood lead levels and several other confounders.

Nevertheless, if the Caliph or his vizier received a letter from either ruler, it remained the duty of the Patriarch to write a reply.
