Baurac
Salts solvents and liquid preparations · A Chymical Dictionary
At a Glance
The word. A broad name for brine rather than one specified salt solution.
A place to read. The historical definition below, 1650 dictionary, unnumbered definition page 11; facsimile PDF page 339.
Historical Definition
Baurac is any kind of brine.
Meaning
The phrase “any kind” is the key qualification. It permits different brines within the category and supplies no unique salt, source or concentration. A reader should therefore preserve any material qualifier supplied by the surrounding author. The headword alone cannot establish that two historical brines had the same composition.
Muria supplies another brine term in the dictionary. Linking the names makes the text easier to search while leaving differences among individual preparations to their actual descriptions.
Places to Read

Liquor salis. A saline liquor understood through its preservative action.
