Thank you all for your interesting points. Are we edging closer to ... something, here?
In any case, I wonder whether the new Motschiedler example from 1525 is the earliest literary (i.e., prose) example of "poxleber" that we have. Or is there earlier? The one from Kitzbühel (referring to the actual price of the liver itself) in 1503 seems to be the "globally" earliest one.
If the VMS "poxleber" is indeed a reference to peasant vulgarity, it might be the first recorded historical instance in existence
PS. Should we compile a list of "poxleber"s that the community has found, so far? Maybe with a timeline/origin information?
