ZAFFER; this is called in Latin ZafFera, which Merret tells
us comes from Germany; it is taken by fome for a preparation
of an earth for tinging glafs blue ; others take it for a ftone, and

who have made any mention of it, and no one that has told us
what it is.
The method of preparing Zaffer for tinging glafs. The only
preparation of Zaffer, according to Merret, is to grind it into a
very fmall powder, and fearce it through a fine fieve.

earthen pans, and let it ft and one day in the furnace ; then put it
into an iron ladle to be heated red hot in the furnace ; take it
thence, and fprinkle it with ftrono; vinegar ; being cooled, grind
it fine on a marble ftone, after which wafh it with warm water
in earthen pans, letting the Zaffer fettle to the bottom, and de-
