Propagation and Culture .—All the sorts of sage may 
be propagated by seeds if they can be procured ; but as some 
of them do not perfect their seeds in England, and most of 
the sorts, but especially the common kinds for use, are easily 
propagated by slips, it is not worth while to raise them from 
seeds. The slips of the hardy sorts should be planted the 
beginning of April, on a shady border, where, if they are 
now and then refreshed with water, if the season should prove 
dry, they will soon take root. There should be a succession 
of young ones raised every other year. 
Several of the sorts are somewhat tender, and will not live 
through the winter in the open air in England. These must 
be planted in pots filled with fresh, light, sandy earth, and 
in winter they must be removed under a hot-bed frame, that 
they may have a great share of fresh air whenever the season 
is mild; for if they are too much drawn, they seldom flower 
well, and make but an indifferent appearance. 
The 1st, 27th, 68th, &c., are annual plants, propagated 
by seeds only ; these may be sown upon a bed of light earth 
in the places where they are to remain.

SALV1ANUS, a celebrated presbyter of Marseilles, who 
flourished in the fifth century, was probably born at Cologne, 
and is said to have been descended from a family of rank, 
and enjoyed the advantages of a liberal education, by which 
he became thoroughly conversant with profane and sacred 
literature. He married a lady who was not a Christian, but 
who became, through his means, a convert to the religion 
which he espoused. We first find him in a public capacity, 
in the office of presbyter at Marseilles. According to Cave, 
he began to flourish about the year 440, when he finished 
one of his principal works, viz. “ A Treatise concerning 
the Providence of Godand from this time his reputation 
greatly increased, and became widely diffused. He was 
living in 495, and had, at that period, attained to a good 
old age. It was at this time that Gennadius wrote his ac¬ 
count of him, observing, that he might well be called 
“ a master of bishops,” since he wrote many homilies which 
were preached by bishops not so well qualified to compose 
for themselves. His works that remain, are written with 
force and elegance, particularly when he is declaiming 
against the irregular manners of the times; so that he has 
had the title given to him of “ the Jeremiah of the fifth cen¬ 
tury.” The works of Salvianus that have come down to us 
consist of “ De Providentia et Gubernatione Dei, deque 
Justo ac presenti ejus Judicio,Lib. viii.Adversus avaritiam 
praesertim Clericorum et Sacerdotum, Lib. iv.” published 
under the title of Timothy, and “ Epistolae IX.” Of his works 
that are lost, an account will be found in Cave’s Hist.vol. i. 
SALVIATI (Francisco Rossi), called II Salviati, from 
the favour and patronage of the Cardinal Salviati, was the 
son of Michelangiolo Rossi, and was bom at Florence, in 
1510. He was first placed as a pupil under Andrea del 
Sarto, and afterwards with Baccio Bandinelli. The cul¬ 
tivation of his talents under these two able masters enabled 
him to rival in fame the best artiste, after the decease of the great 
luminaries who had conducted painting so near to perfec¬ 
tion ; and he is celebrated by his fellow pupil, Vasari, as the 
greasiest painter then in Rome. The power which he ex¬ 
hibited was not suffered to lie unemployed. For the church 
of La Place he painted the Annunciation, and Christ 
appearing to Peter; and soon afterwards was engaged by his 
patron, the cardinal, to adorn his chapel with a series of 
frescoes, the subjects being taken from the life of St. John 
Baptist. He produced a set of cartoons of the history of 
Alexander, as patterns for tapestries; and, in conjunction 
with Vasari, ornamented the apartments of the Cancellaria 
with paintings in fresco. 
From Rome he went to Venice, where he painted many 
pictures, both for public edifices and private collections, par¬ 
ticularly the history of Pysche, for the Palazzo Grimaldi. 
He afterwards travelled through Lombardy, and made some 
stay at Mantua, studying with much delight the works 
of Julio Romano. At Florence, he was employed by the 
grand-duke to adorn the Palazzo Vecchio: in one of the 
saloons he represented the victory and triumph of Furius 
Camillus, a work greatly admired for the truth and taste of 
imitation, and the vigour and spirit of the composition. 
A restless habit, and a disposition to rove, led Salviati to 
accept an invitation to France, made by the Cardinal de 
Lorraine, in the name of Francis I., then engaged in con¬ 
structing and adorning his palace at Fontainebleau. He was 
received with distinction, and politely treated by F. Bima- 
ticio, who had the superintendance of the works; but proud 
and turbulent, he soon became dissatisfied, and returned these 
favours with unkindness and ingratitude. During his stay 
in France, he painted a fine picture for the church of the 
Celestines at Paris, of the Taking down from the Cross. He 
soon after returned to Italy, and there fell into new disputes 
with Daniel de Volterra and Pietro Ligorio; and by con¬ 
tinual agitation of mind brought on a fever, of which he 
died in 1563, at the age of 53. 
II Salviati possessed an invention fertile and well stored 
with materials, which he combined with care and origin¬ 
ality | introducing in his pictures magnificent designs of 
architecture, and uniting in his execution celerity and cor¬ 
rectness
