Title: [Act XIV – Calisto and Melibea (Repeated)]
Period: 1500-1550;
Geographic: France; Lyon (France); Kingdom of France
Description: The illustration is divided into two panels. On the left we see Calisto dressed in noble attire, with a sword mounted on his belt. On the right we see Melibea dressed in a robe and a veil. In her left hand she is holding the girdle cord that played an important role earlier in the story. In her right hand she has a flower, which she appears to be holding in front of her face (perhaps an expression of her modesty). A small dog stands at her feet, perched on its two hind legs while extending its front paws toward her. The entire image is identical to the one on page 8 of the text. The left panel is identical to those on pages 43, 162, and 190. The right panel is identical to those on pages 150 and 244.
