Medieval salters were individuals or craftsmen who specialized in the production and sale of salt, a crucial preservative and seasoning for food during that time. They harvested salt from natural sources, such as salt mines or salt marshes, and processed it for various uses, including preserving meat and fish. Salters played an important role in trade and the economy, as salt was a valuable commodity and essential for both domestic consumption and long-distance trade. Additionally, some salters held guild memberships, which regulated the quality and trade practices of salt production.

What did a dryer do in the medieval times?

After searching a substantial list of Medieval occupations, I couldn't find dryer. I could find a dyer - maker dyes used to colour cloth. The only other occupations that might come close is a dry salter - dealer in pickles, dried meats etc; dry stone waller - builder of stone walls; dyker - a Scottish term for stone waller.

What is a medieval salter?

I am not sure which word you mean - perhaps you man "psalter", or the tradesman known as a "salter". Both words are pronounced the same.Salt was an important commodity in all parts of medieval society, used to flavour food and particularly for preserving meat and fish. In England, several sites in the west Midlands were centres of salt production - all their names end in -wich(Nantwich is one example). This salt production, distribution and marketing eventually became the responsibility of a guild of "salters", established in London in 1394.A psalter, on the other hand, was a book of psalms, written in Latin and usually produced by hand in the monasteries. Such books included all of the 150 psalms from the Bible, together with a calendar showing the feast days and Holy days, a zodiac, stories of saints and martyrs, prayers and other elements. These books are always lavishly illustrated with illuminated capitals and full-page paintings.
