Live and act
Sallo came from a very old and noble family who lived in Poitou . He completed a degree in rhetoric and dealt with the Latin and Greek languages .
In 1652 he became a councilor in Paris, married three years later and in 1664 produced the first draft of the Journal des sçavans , which appeared on January 5, 1665 as the first scientific journal ever. In the magazine he published under the name Hedevill or Hedouville , he reviewed various books critically and also took up statements from various people, which he examined closely. The Roman Curia complained to the French government about certain criticisms. As a result, the magazine was discontinued on March 20 of the same year. A reappearance was made dependent on the examination by a censor . Sallo then stopped his editorial work.
Sallo has also appeared as the author of various books and tracts . Contemporary witnesses also emphasize his willingness to donate to the poor and the church.
