Voynich's anatomy

[Jorge_Stolfi]

Firstly, any male who thinks the image at the top-left of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (or the other suggestion in post #91) is a phallus... should maybe consider getting a medical check-up?

The "phallus" proposals that I have seen are for You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (the "intestines") page, middle of left margin, rotated 90 degrees.  But 

• the "tub" could be the bladder instead of the scrotum; and
  
• some details may have been added by the infamous Boobs Retoucher.
  

 

Is the illustrator deliberately drawing things inaccurately to disguise the meaning? Or is the illustrator perhaps just not very good?

I think it is the latter.  We have candidates for the sources of the images on f68v3, f75r, f85r2, and a few others.  If any of those identifications is correct, the Artist obviously dd not understand the original figure, and his "copy" is wrong on several significant points.

Finally, seeing a number of different possibilities for different illustrations counts against, rather than for, any anatomical theory for me.

But if the Artist is as bad at copying as it seems, we expect that it will be difficult to identify the specific organs being depicted.

Consider f68v3. Before we tentatively identified its source as a diagram of the cosmos by Oresme, I used to think that the "nebuly" border of the blue area was either the edge of a pool or the edge of a plate.  Now we know that it probably was a very badly copied cloudband.

All the best, --stolfi
