		<head>Biography of Salazar Slytherin</head>
		<p>Salazar Slytherin was born in the first half of the tenth century, somewhere in fen-country England. Researchers believe it was likely Norfolk, Lincolnshire, or Cambridgeshire, but may have been a connected county. He came from a family of pure-blood wizards, although the names of his parents are not recorded. It is unknown whether he trained at a school of the time, at home, or under a master. Together with Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff, he founded the <expan abbr="HSWW">Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry</expan>.</p>
		<p>At Hogwarts, Slytherin taught Legilimency, the magical art of forming a mental connection with another's mind and extracting information or interacting with their thought processes. This may have been a genetic talent, as his descendent, Tom Riddle, was also a noted legilimens. Slytherin was also a Parselmouth, a known genetic trait, and able to speak with snakes. He bred at least one basilisk, which he left at Hogwarts in the Chamber of Secrets. The Chamber remained unopened until 1943, when Riddle opened it and used the basilisk to attack Muggle-borns. The basilisk was not killed until 1993.</p>
		<p>Slytherin believed that the school should only teach pure-blood students and should definitely not accept students whose parents were both Muggles. His own house, Slytherin, continued this tradition, but the other founders overruled him. After an argument with Godric Gryffindor, which may have involved a duel, Slytherin left the school.</p>
		<p>While it is not known when or where Slytherin died, one of his spell books and a final journal were recovered shortly before the turn of the twelfth century by Slytherin alumnus and professor Albert Shallowheart. It is assumed that Slytherin was dead when these books were recovered.</p>

				<p>In 1965, as part of her research for <title render="italic"><part>Hogwarts: A History</part></title>, Bathilda Bagshot created an index of letters between Hogwarts founders based on subject and occasional date information.

				<head>Custodial History</head>
				<p>Based on the pattern of acquisition, Slytherin's spell books have been passed down through the Peverell and Gaunt families. It seems likely that Slytherin visisted one of more of his children and close friends after his departure from Hogwarts and left his spell books in their charge. By the point of his death, it seems unlikely that he would have had need for consulting reference materials as he was a highly-accomplished wizard. Early archivists speculate that he retained his book of jinxes in order to record new spells and was not able to transmit it to its designated party before his death.</p>
