At a Glance

The word. A term glossed only by supernatural character.

In the book. Corpora supercœlestia are described through being known by reason rather than the senses, while Ilech supernaturale gives a particular conjunction involving stars and wine.

A place to read. The historical definition below, 1650 dictionary, unnumbered definition page 26; facsimile PDF page 354.

Historical Definition

Iesahach is supernatural.

Meaning

The adjective is the full explanation supplied. The entry does not name an object, power or action to which it applies. Its exact referent must therefore be recovered from the surrounding passage rather than invented from the gloss.

Use in the Book

Corpora supercœlestia are described through being known by reason rather than the senses, while Ilech supernaturale gives a particular conjunction involving stars and wine. Those more detailed entries should not automatically define Iesahach. The edition retains its limited information and leaves its reference open.

Places to Read

Corpora supercœlestia. Bodies distinguished by a rational mode of knowing.

Ilech supernaturale. A conjunction involving several levels of stars and wine.
