EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from the 1491 edition of "Le livre de la propriete des choses" offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of medieval medicine. In this scene, a physician is depicted examining a sample of urine from a patient lying in bed. The detailed illustration showcases the intricate process of uroscopy, a common diagnostic technique used during that time period. The English Franciscan monk Bartholomew Glanville, also known as Bartolomaeus Anglicus, wrote this influential book around 1230-1240. His work was later translated by Jean Corbechon in 1372, further spreading knowledge about the properties and uses of various things. The image captures the essence of medieval medical practices and highlights the importance placed on careful observation and analysis. The physician's focused expression conveys his dedication to understanding his patient's condition through thorough examination. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded of how far medicine has come since those ancient times. Yet, there is something timeless and intriguing about witnessing these early methods of diagnosis and treatment. It serves as a reminder of our continuous quest for knowledge and improvement in the field of healthcare.
