Three arguments in favor of an Arabic/Persian-inspired women's health manual

[Stefan Wirtz_2]

[..]
Argument 1: The balneary section (the baths) are depictions of 15th century Hammams

A Hammam is basically an Arabic bathhouse. It features many advanced technologies[..]

Nothing about the VMS baths and water tubes gives really any "advanced" impression. Some ponds look even natural, some baths are (simple) constructed. None of the tubes would really work, including those which are manipulated by some ladies.

Argument 2: The containers and vessels might depict contemporary Persian oil lamps

Maybe. I am a friend of the "vessels" interpretation. But some of those vessels are, by design, as far from practical use as lamps as from being a tower or pillar.

Argument 3: An Arabic or Arabic-inspired women's health manual would be worth encrypting to avoid persecution

Women's health was already a taboo at that time,[..] So a book on this subject, especially with foreign (non-Christian) origin or inspiration, would definitely be a cause for enciphering its contents.

So, could it be that the VM is inspired by Arabic women's health secrets? Or perhaps a translation from an Arabic health manuscript? What do you think?

I learned that there are about 500+ drawn figures, most of them naked women.
If someone intends to move with this manuscript inside a kind of prude or orthodox-religious or anyhow restricted society, showing ~500 (exotic) nudies, that would grant him persecution and some encrypted text would be his smallest problem then.
Would be like watching a porn and really caring for the dialogues, not so much for the visible action...
