At a Glance

The word. Corporeal spirits whose dwelling is invisible fire.

In the book. Salamandri is a related fire-dwelling name; Sol in homine describes an inward fire nourished by the celestial sun.

A place to read. The historical definition below, 1650 dictionary, unnumbered definition page 43; facsimile PDF page 371.

Historical Definition

Soladini are corporeal spirits dwelling in invisible fire.

Meaning

Corporeal and invisible qualify different parts of the description. The spirits are called bodily, while the fire they inhabit is unseen. The pairing should remain intact instead of being simplified into wholly immaterial beings.

Use in the Book

Salamandri is a related fire-dwelling name; Sol in homine describes an inward fire nourished by the celestial sun. The compiler does not explicitly identify either with Soladini.

Places to Read

Salamandri. Spirits or fiery men associated with residence in fire.

Sol in homine. An inward solar fire related to the celestial sun.
