Monastic nephrology in the School of Salerno and in an unpublished treatise in middlelatin and Italian volgare of the manuscript 2Qq C63 in the public library of Palermo.
The relevance of the Salerno Medical School is examined through the contributions of Magister Maurus, Alfano I, Giovanni Plateario, Giovanni Afflacio, Bartolomeo and Urso of Calabria. An unpublished treatise on De Urinis in middlelatin and Italian volgare is introduced here for the first time by discussing the lapis of the ancient mediaeval urologic and uroscopic culture.
