Historical Definition
Calx Saturni is minium.
Meaning
The entry supplies a specific historical material name rather than an operation. That makes Minium the most direct cross-reference. The Saturn qualification connects the compound with the dictionary’s wider lead vocabulary, but its own gloss should still govern the immediate reading.
Azemasor offers minium or cinnabar as alternatives, whereas this entry gives minium alone. Preserve that difference. A cross-reference can connect the words without turning every related red material into the same substance or every occurrence into a complete preparation.
Places to Read
Minium. A precipitated lead preparation with an explicit correction of terminology.
Azemasor. A name assigned to two historical pigment or mineral terms.
Cauda vulpis rubicundi. A fox-tail expression identified with lead minium.
