Latin Etymology
Dicit etiam glossa super Is. capite 2 [Isaiah 2:20, cf. Jerome, Glossa super Isaiam], quod vespertiliones lucem fugiunt, caeci enim sunt sicut et talpae. Pulverem lingunt, oleum de lampadibus sugunt, in rimulis parietum se abscondunt. Frigidissimae sunt naturae, unde sanguis vespertilionis linitus super palpebras non sint recrescere pilos, ut dicit Constantinus, et hoc forsan est quia sua frigiditate opilat poros, quibus opilatis non recrescunt pili.
