Description

In the centre of the illustration, we see a female figure wearing a robe and a veil. There are two male figures to the left and one to the right. There are three male characters in this act – Calisto, Sempronio, and Pármeno. Areusa is the only female character in this act. Because Pármeno is her sole interlocutor, this illustration does not map onto the narrative of Act VIII.[This illustration is identical to those found in Acts IV (folio 32r), V (folio 42r), VI (folio 45r), X (folio 74r), XIII (folio 93v), XV (folio 102r), and XVII (folio 109r).]
