Blanchiment (when used of silver) = now trans. as “whitening” rather than bleach--check across ms. Probably refers to “pickling” - dipping in a hot salt-vinegar solution to remove tarnish.
Do not use “bleach”, but decide what to do--seems that this is technical interpretative/ ? or translate as “whitening” with an editorial note
Two actions:
check that "whitening" has been used instead of "bleach" across the ms
decide that this is the decision we want
I suggest an editorial note. Any thoughts on this? @TillmannTaape @thuchacz @ps2270 ?
