My original tumblr post was here. This woodcut bears the Latin caption “Malo mihi tortor violet quam membra Cytheris: Integra sum secto corpore sponsa Dei.” This appears to mean something like “I prefer to sit in violation of the members of Venus: I cut the whole body, the bride of God.” Your guess is as good as mine.
