Historical Definition
Hydri are juices or fruits.
Meaning
The definition permits two related but distinct categories. It does not identify a plant, a part of an animal or a particular prepared liquid. Both juices and fruits should remain available when the term is encountered.
Use in the Book
Liquor herbarum is more specific, naming a product of pounded, pressed and digested herbs. Hydri does not include those preparative conditions. The contrast helps readers separate a broad naming gloss from a description that actually states how a particular liquor is made.
Places to Read
Liquor herbarum. An herbal liquor identified through three preparatory actions.
