In my opinion, the image actually represents a man: Jonah emerging from the whale...

I think the 'mermaid' represents a soul being swallowed by the hell's mouth and the drawings on this page represent the Purgatory. In the context of the biological/anatomy section of the VMs the text may be about purgative medicine - just another word play by the author
