Literature | Per Saltum (Latin). By a leap. A promotion or degree given without going over the ground usually prescribed. Thus, a clergyman on being made a bishop has the degree of D.D. given him per saltum- i.e. without taking the B.D. degree, and waiting the usual five years. "They dare not attempt to examine for the superior degree but elect per saltum."- Nineteenth Century, January, 1893, p. 66. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |
