Voynich's anatomy

[eggyk]

The distinctive feature of this illustration is that in the second scene, the man with the knife seems displeased with the arrival of the women, who “distracted” him from his task. Perhaps this is precisely an image of the crime of performing an unauthorized autopsy on a deceased person (shown from above).

This seems to be roughly correct. From the page description: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

A female corpse has been eviscerated; different organs lie around. At the foot of the cadaver stands the dissector with a knife in his left hand and a liver (three-lobed) in his right hand. His countenance exhibits alarm and surprise, as he is interrupted by a physician and a monk. The physician touches the dissector with a warning finger, his other hand raised reproachfully.
