  Fraile Merzenario Morva, Son tan Brabos y Justiciero y Maltrata a los Yndios y Haze Trauajar Con un Palo en Este Rreyno en las Dotrinas, No Ay Rremedio

  This image depicts a Mercedarian friar named Murúa abusing an indigenous woman. He is illustrated holding a stick in his right hand to beat the woman with. He is ordering her to weave. The woman is depicted squatting as she weaves at a loom. She has a frightened look on her face. The author heavily criticizes Mercedarian friars and Murúa specifically for abusing, robbing, forcing labour, and punishing the indigenous peoples of Peru. He was a prefect of the pueblo in Yanaca in the Aymaraes province and he heavily mistreated the indigenous peoples. This image reflects one of the many ways Murúa had treated the natives.

  [Claudia the Vestal Virgin]

  This image appears at the beginning of the story of the vestal virgin named Claudia. The story of Claudia, however, does not reflect the events in this image. This image depicts a woman and a man standing before two sitting elderly men as they appear to be discussing something of importance. Claudia’s story involves her saving her father from a group of plebeians who try to attack him during a tribune procession. The story and image do not seem to match.

  [Gulliver brings a boat onto Blefuscu]

  Here we see Gulliver bringing the small boat he found overturned onto shore in Blefuscu. Gulliver saw the boat offshore and with the help of the Blefuscudians he brought it to shore where he intended to refurbish it so then he could use it to get home. In this image we see Gulliver pulling the boat up onto the dock. Gulliver stands in the water, with his pants rolled up to his knees and is barefoot. He is aided by the Blefuscudians who pull on several ropes tied to the boat. These ropes were used to drag the boat behind a warship while Gulliver pushed it from behind to get it to shore. There is a large crowd of Blefuscudians – some of whom help get the boat on shore, while other simply watch the scene. The city is visible in the background. The same image appears in both the 1839 and 1843 Krabbe editions.

In the image, Poppaea’s body is seen being carted around by horses before she is buried. Her funeral was elaborate, and she is dressed in a nice gown and a crown.

  De Manthon hija de tiresias adevino de tebas

  This engraving depicts Manto, the daughter of the famous seer Tiresias. She is depicted with her body leaning over a burning fire. We know this figure is Manto as the creator engraved her name beside her head to identify her. Boccaccio explains that Manto became an incredible seer just like her father. She uses the movement and colour of the fire’s flames to tell the future, which is why there is a fire in the engraving. She also used the entrails of animals such as sheep and oxen for signs of the future. There is an ox and a sheep illustrated in the engraving with their organs protruding from their bodies. There are two distinct looking characters in the background of the engraving, which signifies Manto’s involvement in the dark arts in summoning spirits and gods from the underworld.

  [A group of Tupinambá people take a European man captive]

  This image shows the capture of a European man on the island of S. Maro. First, he is surrounded by the Tupinambá, who aim their bows towards him, in the group towards the far side of the island. Then he is shown having been captured and stripped of his clothes, with the Tupinambá holding him by both arms, in the group on the island nearer to the viewer. The canoes of the Tupinambá have been been pulled up to the shoreline of the island, with several people remaining in the canoes. Many of the Tupinamba wear feathered headdresses and adornments around their waists. Most carry a bow and arrow, although some have a spear or a club instead. There is a triangular fortification on the left side of the island with cannons at each point, and another walled fort with cannons on the mainland labelled ‘Brikioka’.
