William of Marseille

William of Marseille[1] was a thirteenth-century English academic, teaching in France.

He is known for the medical-astrological treatise De urina non visa.

[2] The method is to use a horoscope to deduce properties of the urine of a patient for diagnosis, when the urine itself cannot be obtained.

[3] This book was still used at the University of Bologna in 1405.
