The Liber Trotula in the Openbare Bibliotheek Brugge is only a 15th century interpretation. Pictorial similarities between Trotula and the VMS could therefore be justified by the fact that they were produced at about the same time and could partly deal with the same topic "bathing". Whether and if so, how far an original, female authorship "shines through" in both cases is an open question.
edit: Does anyone know of an illustrated, 12th century manuscript of the Trotula ?
