Of Piss (1529)


Strictly speaking, 'de urinis actuarii' means 'the secretary of urine'; but I prefer my title. The book is in four parts:


'On all the different kind of urine'; 'urinous judgements' (de judiciis urinarum); 'the causes of urine' and 'the foresight of urine' (de praevidentis ex urinis). I assume the latter contains advice on predicting health or illness from urine. Good phrase though!
