Historical Definition
Sapo sapientiæ is common salt prepared.
Meaning
The compound headword is glossed through a familiar starting material qualified by preparation. That qualification matters: the sentence does not equate the name with every unprepared sample of common salt.
Use in the Book
The entry gives no preparation details. It belongs to a sequence in which salts can be distinguished by source, condition or treatment. The gloss should remain the reader’s first guide.
Places to Read
Sal enixum. Salt in a dissolved condition.
Sal practicum. A named mixture of saltpetre and sal ammoniac.
