Title: [Act IX – Pármeno and Se(m)pronio]
Period: 1500-1550;
Geographic: France; Paris (France); Kingdom of France
Description: The left panel depicts Calisto’s servant Pármeno wearing a hat, with a sword mounted on his belt. To the right we see Calisto’s other servant Sempronio (here spelled ‘Sepronio’, likely a printing error), who is also wearing a hat with a sword mounted on his belt. Both figures are placed outside. The left panel is identical to those found on pages 60, 146, and 173, and nearly identical to those found on pages 263 (where it is labeled ‘Sosia’), 299 (labeled ‘Pleberio’), and 326 (labeled ‘Sosia’). The right panel is nearly identical to those found on pages 114 (where it is labeled ‘Sempronio'), 263 (labeled ‘Calisto’), 271 (labeled ‘Calisto’), 326 (labeled ‘Tristan’), and 350 (labeled ‘Pleberio’).
