Abstract:
The present study proposes to see the childbearing iconography in the Octateuchs as a two-fold scheme depicting a continuous birth narrative. It is suggested that this iconography almost certainly drew specifically on a manuscript of Soranus’ Gynaikeia, most likely illuminated, and that the copyist abridged the full iconographic formulae-both that of giving birth and that of the post birth phases-to its most essential elements, without detracting from the legibility of the scene.
