Note publique d'information : A synoptic edition of the English version of John Arderon’s "De judiciis urinarum"
containing the commentary on Giles of Corbeil’s Carmen de urinis as preserved in Glasgow
University Library, MS Hunter 328, from the early 15th century, and Manchester University
Library, MS Rylands Eng. 1310, from the 16th century. The English version of "De judiciis
urinarum" is a detailed uroscopic treatise instructing the mediaeval practitioner
on the examination of urine with twenty colours and eighteen to nineteen contents,
incorporating colour descriptions, diagnoses, medicines and information about urinary
contents. The present edition offers the semi-diplomatic transcription of these hitherto
unedited texts, accompanied by a glossary, notes and introduction, the latter containing
the textual transmission of the text, a codicological/palaeographic description together
with the analysis of the scribal language. The present edition will be useful as a
primary source for research not only in Historical Linguistics but also in other related
fields such as the History of Medicine or Ecdotics.
