s, _Lusiad_, vi. (1672). =Sal'adin=, the soldan of the East. Sir W. Scott introduces him in _The Talisman_, first as Sheerkohf, emir of Kurdistan, and subsequently as Adonbeck el Hakim, the physician. =Salamanca= (_The Bachelor of_), the title and hero of a novel by Lesage. The name of the bachelor is Don Cherubim, who is placed in all sorts of situations suitable to the author's vein of satire (1704)[TN-151] =Sala'nio=, a friend to Antonio and Bass[=a]nio.--Shakespeare, _Merchant of Venice_ (1598). =Salari'no=, a friend to Antonio and Bass[=a]nio.--Shakespeare, _Merchant of Venice_ (1598). =Sa'leh.= The Tham[^u]dites (3 _syl._), proposed that S[^a]leh should, by miracle, prove that Jehovah was a God superior to their own. Prince Jonda said he would believe it if S[^a]leh made a camel, big with young, come out of a certain rock which he pointed out. S[^a]leh did so, and Jonda was converted. (The Tham[^u]dites were idolaters, and S[^a]leh, the prophet, was sent to bring them back to the worship of Jehovah.) _S[^a]leh's Camel._ The camel thus miraculously produced, used to go about the town, crying aloud, "Ho! every one that wanteth milk, let him come, and I will give it him."--Sale, _Al Kor[^a]n_, vii. notes. (See _Isaiah_ lv. 1). _Saleh_, a son of Faras'ch[^e] (3 _syl._) queen of a powerful under-sea empire. His sister was Gulna'r[^e] (3 _syl._), empress of Persia. Saleh asked the king of Samandal, another under-sea emperor, to give his daughter, Giauha'r[^e], in marriage to Prince Beder, son of Gulnar[^e]; but the proud, passionate despot ordered the prince's head to be cut off for such presumptuous insolence. However, Saleh made his escape, invaded Samandal, took the king prisoner, and the marriage between Beder and the Princess Giauhar[^e] was duly celebrated.--_Arabian Nights_ ("Beder and Giauhar[^e]"). =Sa'lem=, a young seraph, one of the two tutelar angels of the Virgin Mary and of John the Divine, "for God had given to John two tutelar angels, the chief of whom was Raph'ael, one of the most exalted seraphs of the hierarchy of heaven."--Klopstock, _The Messiah_, iii. (1748). =Sal'emal=, the preserver in sickness, one of the four gods of the Adites (2 _syl._).--D'Herbelot, _Biblioth[`e]ques Orientale_[TN-152] (1697). =Salian Franks.= So called from the Is[)a]la or Yssel, in Holland. They were a branch of the Sicambri; hence, when Clovis was baptized at Rheims, the old prelate
