Salniacis, in Greek mythologj-, was the nymph of a fountain of the same name in Caria. She loved Her- maphroditus, the son of Mercurj' and Venus, who was possessed of extraordinary beauty; but he avoided her and despised her prayers. She therefore seized him in her embraces at a time when he was bathing in her fountain, and besought the gods to join her inseparably with him in case he should not listen to her plea. The prayer was heard, and Hermaphroditus, previous]}' a man, thereafter united both the sexes in his person.

Salnianticani (sc. theologi), a collection of theo- logical " Sumnife" emanating from the college of Discal- ceate Carmelites at Salamanca, and highlj' esteemed in the lioman Catholic Church. The work, in arrange- ment and execution, is wholly in the style of Thomas Aquinas, and its teaching is emphatic in defending the views of the Angelical Doctor to the utmost, particularly with reference to the doctrine of grace. Its authors directed their argument especially against the system of T.Iolina [see Molina, Luis], which was then a sub- ject of controversy. In this course they were supported b\' the whole weight of the LTniversity of Salamanca, which not only clung to the Thomist doctrines in their utmost strictness, but whose faculty bound itself with a unanimous oath to present only the doctrines of Augus- tine and Aquinas in their public lectures. A work con- taining the philosophical system of Aquinas had pre- viously been issued by the Barefooted Carmelites of the College of Alcahi, under the title Cmnphitensis Ariium Cursus, which served as a preliminary to the Salmanti- can theology. The authors of the above works arc not definitely known, though Antonius, in Bibl. IJispan., mentions a Carmelite father Antonius as the principal author of both — a statement which is disproved h}' the preface to the Theology, The first volume of the Sal- mantican theologians appeared in 1631, and nine vol- umes are now known to exist (Vfaff, Introd. in Hist. Theol. Lilerar. p. 203, mentions ten), the last of which contains the tract De Incarnatione.
