- Sanglorians → Saint Florians: Florians, members of the Order of Flora, founded in 1189 by the Abbot Joachim of Flora. Joachim of Flora believed that history, by analogy with the Trinity, was divided into three fundamental epochs: 1) The Age of the Father, corresponding to the Old Testament, characterized by obedience of mankind to the Rules of God; 2) The Age of the Son, represented by the New Testament, when Man became the son of God; 3) The Age of the Holy Spirit, when mankind will come in direct contact with God, reaching the total freedom preached by the Christian message. This division of history is somewhat reminiscent of Vico's recurring phases.
- Sangfroid: (French) - composure or coolness, sometimes excessive, as shown in danger or under trying circumstances
