Description

On the left side of this illustration, we see a male figure and a female figure off by themselves, the latter of which is wearing a robe. These two figures likely denotes the scene in which Calisto and Melibea meet in Melibea’s garden. To the right, we see a female figure wearing a robe and a veil. She is interacting with a group of four male figures. This scene has no apparent relation to the events portrayed in Act XIX.[This illustration is identical to those found in Acts I (folio 9r), VII (folio 52v), IX (folio 67r), XI (folio 80r), XII (folio 83v), XIV (folio 96v), and XVI (folio 106v).]
