Over the nipples original: "tütlein", one 12th part and one 13th part.
Under the breasts, one 7th part.

At the end of the hip, one 8th part and one 10th part.
And the leg under the buttocks, one 7th part.
Above the knee, two 10th parts.
In the middle of the knee, one 12th part.

Next, I determine the thickness of the side of the arm:
In the shoulder, one 11th part.
Under the armpit, one 12th part.
At the elbow, one 20th part.
Before the elbow at the forearm, one 7th part.
At the hand the wrist, one 34th part.
And the hollow cupped hand, one 27th part.
Next, I determine the widths of the parts of the front-facing woman at all the points where the vertical lines stand.
The front-facing head, I make at the point of the height of the rear vertebra the base of the skull/top of the neck wide by one 18th part and one 19th part.
Across the forehead, one 15th part and one 16th part.
Across the eyebrows, one 9th part.
Across the ears, one 8th part.
Across the nose, one 10th part.
And the neck under the chin, one 12th part.
Across the shoulder flesh the trapezius at the hollow of the throat, one 5th part.
And below that, the shoulder joints stand apart from each other by two 11th parts.
And the shoulders, I make across the breast wide by four 15th parts.

Between the armpits, one 6th part.
Between the nipples original: "wertlein", one 8th part.
Under the breasts, one 10th part and one 11th part.
In the waist, one 5th part.
Across the navel, one 4th part.
At the end of the hip, one 7th part and one 8th part.
On this line, the hip joints stand apart from each other by two 11th parts.
And the leg at the end of the pubic area original: "scham", I make wide by one 15th part and one 16th part.
Above the knee, two 21st parts.
In the middle of the knee, two 25th parts.
Under the knee, also two 25th parts.
In the middle of the calf, one 22nd part and one 24th part.
At the end of the calf, one 14th part.
The leg above the instep, one 26th part.
Through both ankle bones original: "knorn", one 25th part.
But the foot, I make wide at the front by one 16th part.
And at the back, the heel, one 28th part.
I also make the woman from the back, between the armpits, wide by one 5th part.
And the buttocks, split upwards from the bottom, one 6th part.
The front-facing arm, I make from the armpit downwards wide by one 16th part.
At the elbow, one 19th part.
Before the elbow, in the width of the arm, one 15th part.
At the front, by the hand, one 27th part.
And the open hand, one 16th part.
Next, I draw within these marks original: "gemerck" the contour lines of the woman from the side, front, and back.
And one should pay very close attention to where the contour lines must be drawn narrower or wider than these marks, as I have sketched in the following pages.
And the sign for this woman shall be A. j.

A large, decorative calligraphic flourish or paraph featuring multiple interlocking loops and sweeping curves, commonly used as a terminal ornament in early modern printed books.
