[Act XII (First Illustration) – Calisto, Melibea, Lucrecia, Pármeno, and Sempronio]

Description
-
As midnight approaches, Calisto, accompanied by Pármeno and Sempronio, departs for Melibea’s house. Calisto hears two women talking through the door, and he asks if Melibea is there. Lucrecia (likely the central figure) talks to him first, ensuring that he is really Calisto. She then retreats, allowing Calisto and Melibea (likely the two leftmost figures) to speak. Pármeno and Sempronio (likely the two rightmost figures) hear a commotion in the distance and begin to flee, but they return when they realize the noise is coming from the alguacil’s (justice’s) night watch, who are patrolling another street. However, the night watch soon enters on Melibea’s street, causing Calisto and his servants to flee. Calisto returns home to lament the short duration of his meeting with Melibea. Meanwhile, Sempronio and Pármeno pay a visit to Celestina, with the intention of demanding their share of the gold chain that Calisto had given her.[The figures in this illustration are used in multiple other illustrations throughout this edition.]
