Thema: Reception of Uroscopy in Scandinavia, a case story

Abstract:
It is possible to limit the use of uroscopy in Scandinavia to the period from 1450 to around 1600, or perhaps from 1557 when "Spiegel der Arznei" by Lorenz Fried (1489-1531) was translated into Danish by Henrik Smith, a practising physician. Another textbook of medicine, which included uroscopy, appeared in 1596. That was a translation into Danish of Ortolf von Baierland's "Arzneibuch" by a Danish surgeon, Hans Christensen Bartsker.
Petrus Forestus's book, "De incerto, fallci urinarum iudicio, quo uromantes---", from 1589 was acquired by a Danish physician. It warns against the misuse of uroscopy by judging the urine in the house of the physician, rather than at the bedside of the sick person. Petrus Forestus attributes the misuse to translations to vernacular languages of the professional secrets of medicine.
