Voynich's anatomy

[JoJo_Jost]

I actually find the comparison with Michelangelo’s "Creation of Adam"— in the depiction of God as a "brain" - very interesting; Michelangelo, of course, lives later, but it shows that anatomy was disguised. 

In some regions, a doctor who dissected corpses risked losing his social status and, of course, his job. That would be a really good reason to encrypt this work. And it would also explain the nymphs. These bathing nymphs would be the perfect cover, because they distract from the actual work. Anyone who sees this—and, of course, has no idea about anatomy—would assume they’re just bathers.
