  Petrvs Alvaradvs missvs ab Antonio de Mendozza in Sibollæ prouinciam, cum plerisque è suis à Xaliscanis occiditur.

  A conflict between Spanish soldiers and Indigenous people of Mexico takes place around a prominent hill. The Indigenous people are massed at the top of the hill and have fortified their position with a log fence. From there they roll rocks and logs down the hill to prevent the Spaniards from reaching them. Bodies of Spanish men and their horses litter the hillside. The Spanish soldiers gather at the base of the hill, some on foot and many on horseback armed with long spears. Some Spaniards attempt to climb the hill to reach the Indigenous defenders, firing muskets up towards them. This image is identical to one found on page 43 of Frankfurt, 1595, but colored.

  [A scientist from the Grand Academy of Lagado embraces Gulliver]

  Here we see a scientist from the Grand Academy of Lagado on Balnibarbi who greeted Gulliver by embracing him. Gulliver is now dressed in the style of the locals, wearing a jacket with a motif of astronomical and mathematical symbols on it. Gulliver was unhappy to be greeted in this manner as the room had a terrible stench. This smell was caused by the scientist’s experiments. He was attempting to restore excrement to the food that was consumed. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.

  [a man using crutches]

  Here we see a man on crutches. This image appears when Gulliver explains European nobility and their conduct. Gulliver explains that many upper-class men hire prostitutes which causes them to contract various diseases, while they are engaged to women chosen by their family. The upper classes also tended to be incestuous, which caused children to be born with deformities and they were more likely to have weak constitutions and were frequently ill. Thus, wealthy children were often sick and weak. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.

  [Gulliver is reunited with his family after he returned from Brobdingnag]

  Here we see Gulliver talking to his family when he first sees them after returning to England from Brobdingnag. Gulliver tells us how he knelt down when his wife came to kiss him, because he felt like a giant. When his daughter came to speak with him, she knelt down but he could not see her until she stood up because he became so used to looking up to the giants. In the image, Gulliver’s family looks concerned as Gulliver tells them what he saw, thinking he had gone crazy. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.

  [The Sibyl Erythraea Predicting the Fall of Troy and Life of Christ]

  This engraving depicts the sibyl named Erythraea (also known as Eriphila) on the left side of the engraving with her fingers pointing to the man on the right side of the engraving. The man she is pointing to is Jesus Christ. Boccaccio explains that Erythraea was so intelligent that her prophecies were taken as Gospel rather than fortune-telling. She even prophesized the entire events from the life and death of Jesus, which is why he is depicted in this engraving. Boccaccio explains that Erythraea had also prophesized the fall of Troy, which is assumed to be the city in the background of the engraving.

  [Act III – (?) and Sempronio]

  We know that the male figure on the right is Sempronio, since he is the only male character included in the third act. He is depicted holding a satchel in his right hand. Further, he is wearing a large hat and has a sword mounted on his belt. The female figure on the left is depicted wearing a robe, a veil, and a necklace. Her identity is ambiguous, since Sempronio interacts with both Celestina and Elicia in this act. Both figures are placed outside.The entire image is identical to the one found on page 58 of the text. Both the left and right panels are near carbon-copies of panels used multiple times throughout the earlier 1529 Lyon edition. However, the lower attention to detail in these illustrations makes it clear that they are reproductions and not duplicates. The artist likely referred to a copy of the 1529 edition when creating these illustrations.
