This study attempts to reflect on the role of authority in academic medicine during the lower Middle Ages. We chose a topic - the mechanisms of visual perception - that may have been potentially controversial in medieval classrooms, as the historical authorities Aristotle and Galen disagreed on this phenomenon. Whether conflict arose between authorities, and whether it necessitated reconciliation or explanation, are investigated in the light of the problem faced by the medieval physician who had to explain the vision of nonexistent objects. In our article we also reproduce six questiones composed by university physicians of the Studia in Sienna, Bologne and Montpellier, who dealt with the problem.
本研究试图反思中世纪晚期权威在学术医学中的作用。我们选择了一个主题——视觉感知机制——这在中世纪的课堂上可能存在潜在争议，因为历史权威亚里士多德和盖伦在这一现象上存在分歧。鉴于中世纪医生在解释不存在物体的视觉时所面临的问题，我们将研究权威之间是否产生了冲突，以及是否需要调和或解释。在我们的文章中，我们还重现了由锡耶纳、博洛尼亚和蒙彼利埃大学的医生撰写的六个问题，他们处理了这个问题。
