Boyde, 56-57, notes that Geoffrey of Vinsauf equates periphrasis, metonymy, and a species of emphasis. Type IIb represents the traditional verbal periphrasis in the European languages which has given rise to the term auxiliary. He opens his Cantico, in fact, by emulating Dante's tendency in the Comedy to record the temporal setting of his narrative by means of a mythological periphrasis.

Saffron is the dried yellow stigmas from a small purple crocus. Each flower provides only three stigmas, which must be carefully hand-picked and then dried, an extremely labor-intensive process. It takes 225,000 stigmas to make one pound of saffron, making saffron the most expensive spice in the world. Fortunately, a little saffron goes a long way as a colorant and flavoring for cheeses, pastry, rice and seafood. Saffron is used in spice blends for paella, curry, kheer and bouillabaisse.
