Salvian
Salvian, (or ''Salvianus'') was a Christian writer of the 5th century in Gaul (modern France). His birthplace is uncertain, but some scholars have suggested Cologne,〔''De gub. Dei'', vi. 8, 13.〕 or Trier some time between 400 and 405.
==Personal life==
Salvian was educated at the school of Trier and seems to have been brought up as a Christian. His writings appear to show that he had made a special study of the law; and this is the more likely as he appears to have been of noble birth and could describe one of his relations as being "of no small account in her own district and not obscure in family".〔''Ep.'' i.〕 He was certainly a Christian when he married Palladia, the daughter of pagan parents, Hypatius and Quieta, whose displeasure he incurred by persuading his wife to retire with him to a distant monastery, which is almost certainly that founded by St Honoratus at Lerins. For seven years there was no communication between the two branches of the family, till at last, when Hypatius had become a Christian, Salvian wrote him a most touching letter in his own name, his wife's, and that of his little daughter Auspiciola, begging for the renewal of the old affection.〔Ep. iv.〕 This whole letter is a most curious illustration of Salvian's reproach against his age that the noblest man at once forfeited all esteem if he became a monk.〔De gub. iv. 7; cf. viii. 4.〕
It was presumably at Lerins that Salvian made the acquaintance of Honoratus (died 429), Hilary of Arles (died 449), and Eucherius of Lyons (died 449). That he was a friend of the former and wrote an account of his life we learn from Hilary.〔''Vita Hon.'', in Migne, 1. 1260.〕 To Eucherius's two sons, Salonius and Veranus, he acted as tutor in consort with Vincent of Lerins. As he succeeded Honoratus and Hilary in this office, this date cannot well be later than the year 426 or 427, when the former was called to Arles, whither he seems to have summoned Hilary before his death in 429.〔''Eucherii Instructio ad Salonium'', ap. Migne, 1. 773; Salv., Ep. ii.〕
