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.
