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.
