abstract:The corpus of late fourtenth-century medieval Welsh medical recipes often attributed to the legendary Physicians of Myddfai includes a number of recipes meant to treat urinary ailments, as well as directions on how to diagnose conditions, and provide prognosis to patients, based on the appearance of their urine. These directions are quite obviously related to similar types of instructions in contemporary Latin texts as well as those in the European vernaculars. However the recipes for urinary ailments, strange as some of them may seem, also form part of this wider European medical culture. This paper demonstrates the continuity between the Welsh remedies for urinary ailments and those of medieval England and Europe. It goes on to explore the relationship between the Welsh remedies and older texts such as the herbal attributed to Macer Floridus, Medicina de Quadrupedibus which was translated into Old English, and ultimately Classical sources. While at first glance it may seem that the medical texts attributed to the Physicians of Myddfai are a bit odd, or idiosyncratic, in reality they are firmly embedded in the western medical tradition, and echo the medical ideas that were being propagated in all European vernaculars at this time.
