Historical dates are source-reported leads; independently corroborate beverage use, priority and adoption.
Chapter-level engineering discussion by Norbert Kockmann; paraphrase of printed pp. 1–7.
The chapter uses distillation broadly for historical separation operations, including activities now distinguished from vaporization and condensation. Early apparatus interpretations therefore do not by themselves prove production of potable distilled alcohol.
