ALT Page of a 14th century manuscript, with mostly handwritten text. On the top left there is a small square (circa 10 cm) with a image. On the first two thirds there are three men (left to right): 1 man, wearing brown knee-length gown, holding an enema to the anus of the middle man (wearing white tunic, rolled up from the waist, exposed lower body, back to viewer); third man wearing blue long tunic (gold highlights). Last third has middle man rubbing his back against a rock in a field. Behind the rock is a donkey/ass. Tale: man visits famous country ‘wise man’ because he has lost his ass. Regardless of the problem, the only solution this ‘wise’ man ever provides, however, is that the patient merely needs an enema. As he walks home, the man finds that it is time to relieve himself. As he dodges behind a large rock to do so, he sees his ass, which had wandered away from him.
