[101] This text, critically treated, has been printed by K. Sudhoff, who, however, regards it as related to the figures: _Archiv für Geschichte der Medizin_, vol. iii, p. 361, Leipzig, 1910. [102] Hugh of St. Victor, _De bestiis et aliis rebus_, iii. 60. [103] Migne, col. 755. [104] An idea that occurs in Aristotle, _Parts of Animals_, ii, c. 2, but is rejected by Galen. [105] Early mediaeval writers held that the _lumbus_, which we have rendered _loin_, was intimately connected with the sexual faculties. Thus Hugh of St. Victor (1095-1141), _De bestiis et aliis rebus_, iii. 60 ‘Lumbi a libidinis lascivia dicti, quia in viris causa corporeae voluptatis in ipsis est, sicut in umbilico feminis. Unde et ab Iob in exordio sermonis dictum est, _accinge sicut vir lumbos tuos_, ut in his esset resistendi praeparatio, in quibus est libidinis usitata dominandi occasio.’ [106] Migne, cols. 792-3. [107] The legend reads as follows: ‘Minor mundus scilicet homo. _Microcosmus_. [Then on the head the names of the seven planets.] Caput microcosmi est rotundum in celestis spere modum in quo duo oculi ut duo luminaria in celo micant quod & septem foramina ut septem celi armonie ornant. In pectore sunt flatus & tussis ut in aere uenti & tonitrua. In uentrem omnia fluunt ut in mare flumina. Os lapides ungues arbos dant gramina crines Ut pede mole[m] corporis sic terra sustinet omnia. [At the four corners the following legends:] Aer huic donat quod flat. sonat. audit. odorat. Ignis feruorem dat uisum mobilitatem. Aqua. Munus aque gustus humorem sanguinis usus. Ex terra carnem tactum trahit & gravitatem.’ [108] Migne, col. 415. [109] Migne, col. 421. [110] Migne, col. 424. [111] The Aristotelian writings also compare the transformation of the material humours into the child’s body with the solidification of milk in the formation of cheese. [112] Migne, col. 425. [113] Especially in the _Liber Divinorum Operum_, pars 1. vis. iv. [114] The eagle is frequently in mediaeval writings a symbol of the power of divine grace. [115] Migne, col. 110.
