As far as I know, "Salai" means "demon" or "devil" and it was a nickname Leonardo gave to his apprentice, Giaccomo Caproti, because of his behaviour - their relationship is supposed to have been very wild, with frequent arguments and fights and consequent making up. Leonardo took this apprentice during his time in Milan, staying in the court of the Duke of Milan, Ludovico Sforza.
