Uroscopy - the diagnosis of disease by visual examination of the
urine - played a very prominent role in early modern medical
practice and in the lives of ordinary people. Widely considered as
the most reliable way to diagnose diseases and pregnancies it was
taught at the best universities. Leading physicians prided
themselves on their mastery in this field. Countless medical
writings were dedicated to uroscopy and artists represented it in
hundreds of illustrations and paintings. Based on a wide range of
textual and visual sources, such as autobiographies, court records,
medical treatises and genre painting, this book offers the first
comprehensive study of the place of uroscopy in early modern
medicine, culture and society and of the - gradually changing -
ways in which medical practitioners, lay persons and, last but not
least, artists perceived and used it.
