Summary[edit]

Uroscopy manuscript (MS 784) page 4
Title
Uroscopy manuscript (MS 784) page 4
Description

Page 4 of the 'Uroscopy' manuscript (MS 784) in Latin script, on the judgement of urines, with some medical receipts: in English. Followed by another short work on the colours of urines, etc.

It is suggested that the 'Johannes 1.' who is stated to be the translator of the tract 'De urinis' (No. 5) may possibly be John Lelamour or Lelarmouse, Master of Hereford School in 1373, who translated the 'De viribus herbarum' of Macer Floridus. Copies of this are recorded in Young's 'Catalogue of MSS. in the Library of the Hunterian Museum, Glasgow. No. 497, and in Scott's 'Index to the Sloane MSS. in the British Museum', p. 305. This MS. is entered in the Fourth Report of the Historical MSS. Commission Appendix. 1873. p. 359. (Mostyn MSS.). Anglo saxon letter forms in Moorat's catalogue description (such as contraction marks and Thorn and yogh symbols) have been replaced with Latin characters.

Included in the first tract is the Plague Epistle beginning 'Dilectissime frater' attributed to Johannes de Burgundio de Pisa: in Latin.

Written in a semi-cursive rounded gothic hand, 24-29 lines to a page. Ornamental initials in blue and red, with marginal decorations on fol. 1 and fol. 13: other initials in blue, paragraph marks in red. A foliation in pencil has been added.

The 'Epistola' attributed to Johannes de Burgundio is transcribed in Sudhoff's Archiv Vol. V, pp. 75-80 (cf. also Singer (D.W.)) 'Some plague tractates'. P.R.S.M. (Hist. of Med. Section) Vol. IX, 1916, Reprint, pp. 16, 17).
