  [The universal artist from The Grand Academy on Balnibarbi]

  Here we see the scientist nicknamed the ‘universal artist’ from the Grand Academy on Balnibarbi. This man oversaw fifty other scientists all working on several different hypotheses, including condensing air into a tangible substance, softening marble to use it as pillows, petrifying hooves of living horses, and sowing the land with chaff to make it more virtuous. Gulliver encountered him in the wing of speculative learning. This man is likely an allusion to Sir Robert Boyle, a scientist who conducted experiments in several aspects of the natural world and was also a theologian. In this image, the scientist is depicted with a particularly large head, likely to indicate his intelligence. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.

  Cy apres sensuit de camiole senense venue

  This image depicts Camiola, the daughter of Lawrence of Torringo, paying a ransom to release Roland of Sicily from prison. She felt sympathy for Roland of Sicily who was left to rot in a jail after a battle, so she paid for his ransom in exchange for his hand in marriage. Camiola is depicted wearing a red dress standing in front of Roland who is chained in a prison cell. There are two figures beside Camiola delivering the ransom money on behalf of her to the man dressed in red and black behind the city wall. Roland had agreed to marry Camiola, but when he was freed, he pretended as though he did not agree to marry her. She is famous for having proved herself in front of a judge and spoke out against her husband’s vile behaviour in rejecting her and his promise to her.

  De Harmonia: Siciliana: de linaje regal

  This engraving depicts a young servant girl getting stabbed in the chest with a sword by a man standing above her. This young servant girl is disguised to look exactly like Harmonia, the daughter of Gelon (brother to the king of Syracuse). Boccaccio explains that there was a rebellion in Syracuse against nobility, and before the murderers could get to Harmonia, her nurse disguised this young woman to look like Harmonia. The real Harmonia is depicted on the right side of the engraving. The creator engraved her name, written as Armonia, above her head to identify her. There is a man swinging a sword above his head which appears to be heading in Harmonia’s direction, however, Boccaccio explains that Harmonia hid from the murderers until they killed the look-alike servant.

  Argia pollinici coniuge et adrasti regis filia

  Argia, the daughter of King Adrastus of Argos is depicted on the right side of the engraving holding the body of her husband, King Polynices of Thebes. Boccaccio explains that Polynices had fought in a war against his brother Eteocles and died on the battlefield. Argia snuck herself onto the battlefield after the war to see her husband’s body. She is depicted holding his lifeless body and kissing him on the lips. Behind Polynices are the other men who had fought and died in this war. Boccaccio believes her to be praiseworthy as it took courage to risk her life in order to find her husband on the battlefield.
