I found an interesting picture of a child birth.
http://tinyurl.com/pv2gj (uploaded to Flickr)
It is a woodcut from a book with the title
"Seelenwurzgarten" (or "Der Seelen Wurzgarten"),
published in 1496 in Augsburg, Germany, by
Johann Schönsperger.
I have no details of the picture itself.
It looks as if the delivery is done by way of a
caesarean, but it is striking that there are no
instruments in sight. So I wonder wether this
is realy a caesarean or rather a 'decent' depiction
of a normal birth.
How are medieval deliveries usually depicted,
if they are?

There is a good history of Cesarean sections available online at:

Caesarians were known. Caesar was reportedly
born that way.

Hmm - the mother looks slightly disinterested in a glum kind of way.

I love the illustrations from the 14th and 15th c.
They often appear very comical to me, perhaps
because they are so naive.
