Description: This image depicts Calisto and Pármeno. On the left we see Calisto, who is dressed in noble attire and has a sword mounted on his belt. On the right we see Pármeno pointing upward. His clothing is far less ornate than that of Calisto, which is is illustrative of his status as one of Calisto’s servants. Like Calisto, he also has a sword mounted on his belt. They are both wearing hats and standing outside.The entire image is nearly identical to the one found on page 190 of the text (where the right panel is labeled ‘Sosia’). The left panel is identical to those found on pages 8, 162, and 196. The right panel is identical to those found on pages 105 and 135, and nearly identical to the one found on page 221 (where it is labeled ‘Sosia’).
