- Description
- Analyzes the lexicon of Henry Daniel's medical treatise on urine, "Liber uricrisiarum," as it is found in Huntington, MS HM 505. Shows that often "Daniel and Chaucer share a precise vocabulary," detailing their similar uses of "piss," and tabulating an alphabetical list of select Middle English words used in the "Uricrisiarum," including "more than one hundred previously unnoticed examples" of terms that precede Chaucer's usage or are "rare before Chaucer."
