Reviews
Liber Uricrisiarum: A Reading Edition is exemplary. One can only be delighted to see the completion of the edition: not only has the science of medieval urine undergone renewed interest, but the importance of vernacular production in this field has also been rediscovered, thanks to recent studies on medieval science. - Laurence Moulinier Brogi, Departement d'Histoire, Archeologie, Litteratures des monde chretiens et musulmans medievaux, Universite Lumiere-Lyon 2 Until now the Liber Uricrisiarum and Daniel's other writings have been addressed only piecemeal, and with conflicting information on what can be known about that learned Dominican. This edition provides a definitive introduction to Daniel and his works, addressing what can be known about the author along with an analysis of the complexities of surviving witnesses to both this text and the others attributed to Henry Daniel. As valuable as this introduction is, equally important is the fact that we now have available a careful edition of the Liber Uricrisiarum. This volume is the culmination of decades of study by the most important scholars in the field. - Linda Ehrsam Voigts, Department of English, University of Missouri-Kansas City
""This stellar edition […] is a careful and highly readable reproduction that makes the entirety of the three books of Daniel’s Liber Uricrisiarum available to modern scholars for the first time."" -- Lori Jones, University of Ottawa and Carleton University * <em>Journal of British Studies</em> *
