It happened after some time, making a pretty large fire for cooking my meat, when I went to put it out after I had done with it, I found a broken piece of one of my earthenware vessels in the fire, burnt as hard as a stone, and red as a tile.
Molto tempo dopo, avendo fatto un gran fuoco per arrostire la mia carne, mentre ne la ritraeva già cucinata, m’accadde osservare che un rottame de’ miei vasi di terra gettato ivi era divenuto duro al pari d’una pietra, e rosso quanto una tegola.
