"The link between astrology and medicine [during the period] is typified in the ‘zodiac man’, a representation of celestial influence on the human body found in hundreds of medieval medical manuscripts. Here, the zodiacal symbols are painted on the body in the appropriate places, from Aries for the head and face to Pisces for the feet. The signs demonstrate which parts of the body are influenced by which astrological sign, thus indicating the most auspicious times for performing operations."

[edit] Licensing
 |
The two-dimensional work of art depicted in this image is in the public domain worldwide due to the date of death of its author (if it is was published outside of the U.S. and the author has been dead for over 70 years), or due to its date of publication (if it was first made public in the U.S. before 1923). Therefore this photographical reproduction is also in the public domain, at least in the United States (see Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp.), in Germany, and in many other countries.
