AB  - This paper examines the case of the treatise De urina non visa, written in 1220 by William the Englishman, a physician established in Marseille, which was motivated by two key imperatives : to shake up the established order and to establish itself for posterity as an object of study and memory. This unusual treatise of medical astrology aimed to argue for the superiority of astrology over medicine and sought to dissuade medical practitioners from using any form of clinical examination, particularly the analysis of urine, and instead encouraged them to base their diagnoses solely on ­consultation of the skies. The number of manuscripts of this text that have ­come down to us today suggests that it was very favourably received since, not only was it frequently copied and widely disseminated, but it was also much imitated. The focus of this study is on the means by which William the Englishman became in certain cases a model, one that was either implicit or assumed, and even an auctoritas.
