Tavormina, M. Teresa, "Practice, theory, and authority in a Middle English medical text: "Barton's urines which he treated at Tilney"", Journal of Nephrology, 22/Supplement 14 (2009), s33-s41.
- Resum
- A medieval English text on the theory and practice of uroscopic analysis is found in British Library, Sloane MS 280, and Cambridge, St. John's College MS B.16.The treatise, the title of which is given in the fuller and earlier copy in Sloane 280 as “Barton's Urines Which He Treated at Tilney,” offers an unusual mix of practical diagnostic methodology focused mainly on uroscopy, and a conceptual framework for that methodol-ogy which begins with humoral physiological theory but continues with digressions on astronomy, the calendar, Aristotelian psychology, reproductive anatomyand physiology, embryology and ensoulment. This pa-per discusses the possible authorship and dating ofthe original text, the author's intellectual interests and habits, his approach to his vernacular audience, and the relation of the treatise to the Latin authorities onwhich it draws, particularly but not exclusively Isaac Israeli and Giles of Corbeil.
