Note 409 — SCENE III.
Reading edition
Leatica] Old ed. “Ziattica”—a misprint for Leatica, a not uncommon form (see Philocothonista, 1635, p. 48) of the word “Aleatico, or red muscadine, which is produced in the highest perfection at Montepulciano, between Sienna and the Papal state; at Monte Catini, &c. ... and of which the name in some measure expresses the rich quality (it is obviously derived from ἡλιαζω, soli expono); has a brilliant purple colour, and a luscious aromatic flavour,” &c. Ibid. p. 237.
