Description

A nun harvests disembodied penises from a phallus tree.  


   This risqué marginalia comes from a husband and wife team of Parisian artists, Richard and Jeanne de Montbaston, who copied and illuminated manuscripts. Jeanne operated independently after Richard’s death, the timing of which has lead some scholars to speculate that the whimsical illuminations in this particular manuscript were solely her creations. The images can be interpreted in a number of ways, possibly as a parody of spiritual love, a representation of the fear of dominating women and male impotence or purely as a humorous diversion.

Not Proselytizing, but most Christians believe that the forbidden fruit Adam and Eve was not supposed to touch was upon each other. The forbidden fruit in most frigid circles of faith was believed to be.... sex. Although I do no agree, early church followers did, and some still do.  :)
