Abstract

The medical practice and experimentation undertaken in the Salerno School represent a point of contact between Greek medicine, monastic medicine and Arabian medicine. The innovation of printing lead to the preservation of ancient traditions and of religious commentaries which were systematized and brought together in books. Arare post-incunable which forms parí of the collection of the University of La Lagunas library, under the classification number S. XVI 174, brings together, under the títle De urinis et pulsibus and De urinis, two works, the first of which is by Gilles de Corbeil, a 12th century French physician and the second a work by Pierleone da Spoleto, a 15th century Italian physician and university professor. Our objective in this study is to bring these treatises to the light of day, being the case that there do not appear to be any other examples of the treatise in Spanish universities libraries.
