Title: [Act XVII]
Subject: Spanish romances; Robes; Veils
Period: 1500-1550;
Geographic: Italy; Venice (Italy); Republic of Venice
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. Because there are two female characters (Elicia and Areusa) and one male character (Sosia) in Act XVII, we can say that this illustration does not relate to the events contained within the act.[This illustration is identical to those found in Acts IV (folio 32r), V (folio 42r), VI (folio 45r), VIII (folio 62r), X (folio 74r), XIII (folio 93v), and XV (folio 102r).]
