It is my aim in this paper to discuss some aspects of the relationship between medieval medical authors and classical authorities. Historians of medicine have stressed the academic activities of medical masters as those of conciliation and explanation of authority. I will rather suggest that the explanation of classical authority was not the main aim of the medical masters but, in fact, its very construction. I would like to develop this possibility by analysing the nature of the approach to visual perception in academic medical circles at the end of the thirteenth century and the beginning of the fourteenth century.
本文的目的是探讨中世纪医学作者与古典权威之间关系的某些方面。医学史学家强调医学大师的学术活动是对权威的调和与解释。我反而认为，对古典权威的解释并非医学大师的主要目的，而实际上是对其的构建。我想通过分析13世纪末和14世纪初学术医学界对视觉感知的研究方法的本质来探讨这种可能性。
