Historical Definition
Folia daure are leaves of gold.
Meaning
The definition identifies a form of gold without stating a preparation or further property. “Leaves” should remain visible because it distinguishes the description from a bare metal synonym.
Use in the Book
Aurum planatum is leaf gold or malleated gold, and Orizeum foliatum is also glossed as leaf gold. These parallels make the naming relationship useful for searching across authors. They do not supply a particular thickness or manufacture under Folia daure itself.
Places to Read
Aurum planatum. Gold identified by being beaten into a thin form.
Orizeum foliatum. Gold distinguished by its leaf form.
