Well, again, I don’t know how important accuracy was to the author. The author, presumably, dissected corpses and saw the organs. The author could at least draw them. He might have looked at the fallopian tubes and thought: “I wonder why this isn’t in other books?”
In other medieval anatomical books, the illustrations are also not very accurate.
And I never said anywhere that this is an innovative work. I said that the author depicted the organs and concealed them in a rather interesting way, and that’s it.
