"edified" as adjective (?) "Parsons, his attention caught by the trumpet call, sat listening with a sort of gaping solemnity, a sort of edified boredom". What's the meaning of "edified" here?

This is how the Oxford dictionary defines edify. Instruct or improve (someone) morally or intellectually. Edified is a participle being used as an adjective. The meaning here doesn't fit the dictionary definition. My guess is that Parsons looks bored and superior.

A pleasant boredom. Parsons is enjoying the boredom.
