I don't think this Book of Holy Trinity illustration depicts women in a "modest pose": they are not covering their breasts and nipples but (on the contrary) putting them in great evidence.
I also don't think there is a "problem" with women and men being naked together: the two pillars here clearly represent alchemical opposites, marked by the Moon (women) and Sun (men) symbols. The separation of the two sexes is functional to the concept being illustrated, not to some kind of prudery. I cannot read the text, so these are just the impressions I get from the illustration.
