the cathar nymph and her victory over birth

[-JKP-]

The Spanish inquisitors would take a dim view indeed of an image of a woman holding aloft her reproductive organs, don't you think, JKP?

Yes, probably so. Even the public at large would probably denounce it. Human anatomy was definitely one of those hush-hush topics and if it were explicitly expressed in a manuscript, it would no doubt be classed with manuscripts that dealt with "the black arts" (geomancy, kabbala, etc.) which were especially suppressed in the later 15th century.

Leonardo da Vinci somehow got away with an explicit drawing of coitus (and some anatomical drawings) but I don't know whether they were seen during his lifetime or discovered after he died.
