Such would be the meaning:
"pox leber" from what ? "v'men (from one) xxxxxx".
Here the breed of the animal would be an answer. If it plays an important role.


Based on this idea, I think that f116v's first line says Liver from a male logging horse (in the original, "Poxleber v'men Rukpfer"). "Rukpfer" would be Rückepferd abbreviated and phonetically written.

It makes sense, taking into account the goat reference on the last line (so take goat milk) and considering that both goats and logging horses were fairly common work animals in rural Medieval Europe.

However, I don't know if "Rukpfer" would be a valid word in Middle Upper German (the most likely dialect area for the German parts of the MS to have been codified in). Besides, I admit that the symbols I identified as r and k more closely resemble p and t, but "Putpfer" doesn't appear to be a real word for an animal (which it should be given the context).

As for the drawings, I think it's also a goat rather than an unicorn and the weird illustration at the top shows part of the goat's digestive tract (possibly of a goat with a displaced abomasum, just like in the annexed picture).
