Morrissey, Jake Walsh, "Anxious love and disordered urine: The englishing of Amor hereos in Henry Daniel's Liber uricrisiarum", The Chaucer Review, 49/2 (2014), 161-183.
- Resum
- This article presents an edition of the chapter on intense emotional states including lovesickness in Henry Daniel's Middle English treatise on the judgment of urines, the Liber uricrisiarum. The chapter reveals an idiosyncratic perspective on a medical counterpart to the malady of love that figures prominently in medieval literature and culture. Although the condition of amor hereos was frequently discussed in medieval Latin medical texts, it failed to generate interest in the equivalent vernacular English discourse. Among widely circulated English texts, only Chaucer's description of Arcite's malady in the Knight's Tale rivals Daniel's in its sophistication and use of technical language.
