Viewing the MS as a guide to conception and pregnancy

[Koen G]

This theory would benefit from some specific examples, and especially reference to 15th century practices. Right now, it looks like all sections of the manuscript are squeezed into the narrative.

There are 134 large plant drawings in the MS. Since you say they are composites and actually refer to groups of plants, we must assume that more (200?) plants are referenced. How many plants were specifically associated with fertility? And more generally, which materials do we find in medieval books about fertility? Which plants were most often recommended? Can those be found in the MS? What about the 100+ other plants?
