Historical Definition
Sandaracha is auripigmentum.
Meaning
The definition supplies one historical name through another. Retaining the target form makes the source’s identification inspectable and avoids silently importing a different sense of a familiar-looking word.
Use in the Book
No origin, color or preparation is given here. Those features should come from the passage being read or from another identified source, rather than from the headword alone.
