Description
Summary:The treatise De urinis closes the collection of texts known as Hortus sanitatis (Latin text dated from 1491) and is a rewriting of Bartolomeo da Montagnana’s De urinarum iudiciis, published in 1487. In this article, the author recommends reading the contents of De urinis in order to grasp the status of the treatise in the general economy of the Hortus and its complex relationship with its source. In fact, De urinis is quite faithful to Montagnana’s De urinarum iudiciis. Yet, it overlooks the last chapter on physicians’ prudence (De cautelis medicorum) of Montagnana’s treatise. This lack deserves a careful consideration on the strategies of the proposal and the beneficiary of De urinis.
