How is [x] used in medieval German?

[ReneZ]

Potz as an alternative for 'Gottes' in German has been used since the 15th century, and while I remember reading that Potz and Pox are closely related in this context, I just don't remember where. This probably dates back to the discussions surrounding the Mondragone paper of 2012.

In any case, and for what it's worth, the entire context of this page, including the goat drawing in the margin, makes me favour the more literal meaning of a goat's liver.

I look forward what you (Koen) and Marco will still discover.
