Historical Definition
Essatum vinum is rectified spirit of wine.
Meaning
The definition identifies a prepared spirit of wine and retains the qualifying operation. It does not specify the number of treatments or a measured strength. A reader should therefore keep “rectified” visible without supplying a modern concentration.
Use in the Book
Alcool vini is also identified as rectified spirit of wine, while Vinum correctum is the Alcool of wine. These connections provide closely related vocabulary for reading a preparation. They do not establish that every historical example described by the names had an identical composition or strength.
