Quantum redactiones paginae "Disputatio:Aqua ardens" differant

 

::It was about the distillation of alcohol, and of course the drinks distilled therefrom. This has an interesting history, with many sources in Latin over the ages. The word is traditionally ''distillatio'' but this is really a corruption of ''destillatio'' "dripping down." Still, as the topic is largely post-Roman, I figured the later form was appropriate. --[[Usor:Iustinus|Iustinus]] 22:03, 27 Decembris 2006 (UTC)
