Historical Definition
Fulmen is purified silver.
Meaning
The adjective matters: the definition describes silver in a purified condition, rather than silver under every circumstance. No method or criterion of purification is given.
Use in the Book
Fida names silver and sometimes gold; Luna is directly glossed as silver. These comparisons distinguish a qualified material from broader or alternative names. The edition preserves purified as the feature supplied under Fulmen, while taking any further account of its preparation from the historical passage using the word.
