AIRS WATERS PLACES

MSS. AND EDITIONS.

(2) sharp contrasts of weather during the seasons.

It is clear from the passages in Airs Waters Places where the phrase occurs that it may have either meaning. The notion underlying it is that of violent change in the weather.

The reader should note the meanings of the following :

(1) "between the winter rising of the sun and the winter setting," i. e. roughly E.S.E. to W.S.W.;

(2) "between the summer setting and the summer rising," i. e. roughly W.N.W. to E.N.E.;

(3) "between the summer and winter risings," i. e. roughly E.N.E. to E.S.E.

The exact number of degrees is a question of latitude. The directions given above are roughly correct for the Mediterranean area.
