Comparison with BL ms Ashmole 399

Imagine her standing in the testicles and the tube feeding the "penis" as the seminiferous tubules.

Since most of the structures in this section of the manuscript look like something from a dissection table, with many vein/artery-like shapes with liquid coming out of them, it's not much of a stretch to imagine this as an inside/outside image.

Dissection of people was generally not permitted in the 15th century, so I wouldn't expect drawings of bodily processes to be any more explicit than this.


Also, in the medieval mind, body parts were connected to the stars. Hence "zodiac man" came into existence.
