Historical definition
Diaceltatesson is a particular remedy against fevers.
Meaning
The entry gives the intended use of a preparation, rather than its ingredients. “Particular” preserves the sense of the source’s “speciall”; the definition does not identify the kinds of fever or state how the remedy is prepared.
Use in the book
Opopopyron Laudani is another named medicine associated with stopping fevers. The shared application does not prove that the two names designate the same preparation. A reading of either term needs the surrounding author’s description if the substance or procedure is at issue.
