Abstract


The analysis of different aspects of Medieval embryology (menstruation, sexual intercourse and fertilization, embryo's constitution and the male and female seeds, pregnancy, childbirth and lactation) in four scientific books of wide readership at the time, as the Dialogue de Placides et Timéo, the William of Conches’s Dragmaticon philosophiae, the Bernard of Gordon’s Lilium medicinae, as well as the Sefer ha-toledet, shows how the vision of women's bodies was biased by the androcentric culture of the Medieval Ages, and more precisely in this sort of texts.
