  [Title Page]

  An ornately decorated title page. Two figures playing musical instruments appear atop the pedestals on either side of the illustration. The male figure on the left is playing the panpipes (or syrinx), and his horns and goat’s legs indicate that this is possibly a representation of the Greek deity Pan. The figure on the right is female and also has the legs of a goat, but it is difficult to ascertain her identity from this illustration alone. Above these pedestals, we see two helmets and two shields, the latter of which bear the coats of arms of Lang (to whom the edition is dedicated) and Wirsung. In the centre of the image, we see the title of the work. It appears to be either framed by an opening, or placed upon an altar of some sort.

  This image is illustrated in a chapter that discusses the Christian priests in the colonial government in Peru. The image depicts a Jesuit priest, a hermit and a friar. The Jesuit is depicted in the centre of the image holding a rosary in his left hand while holding up his right hand. The friar is standing behind the Jesuit and looking down at the skull that the hermit is holding. The hermit is holding a skull as it is a symbol of mortality and wisdom. The Jesuit priest is depicted speaking with an indigenous man who is holding out a dead bird as his alms. The author praises the Jesuits, hermits and friars for keeping true to their religious duties and being charitable and respectful towards the indigenous peoples of Peru. The caption at the bottom of the image reads, “ci fuera estos santos padres dotrinando y diera limosna y no rrecibiera ni tomara plata ni fuera cudicioso de hacienda fuera otra orden de san francisco amara la pobresa santo de ellos grandes letrados” [If it were these holy priests endowing and giving alms and did not receive or take money or be judicious of the treasury, it was another order of Saint Francis, he would love the poor, saint of them, great lawyer].

  Eine Pest, ein stehendes Heer

  This image is showing bodies of those who have died of the plague. The plague was the code for the army. This image comes in a description of a conspiracy found by a professor from the Grand Academy on Balnibarbi. This idea is representing code word for terms in the conspiracy that Swift is satirizing. The professor advises that those named in the conspiracy papers be closely monitored at all times, naming specifically while they were using the bathroom, as this is when men were most thoughtful. This conspiracy is thought to be an allusion to the trial of Francis Atterbury, the bishop of Rochester for allegedly plotting with the Jacobites. Atterbury was charged with treason in 1722 and was exiled to France. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.

  [Act I – As Celestina Knocks on a Door, a Horseman Approaches and Three Figures Observe (Repeated)]

  In the foreground and to the left, we see a female figure knocking on the door to a house. Her long veil and slightly more aged appearance indicate that this is meant to represent Celestina. In her left hand she is holding either a lantern or a bag. In the foreground and to the right, we see a male figure (Calisto?) walking toward the house with a horse. A female figure (Melibea?) watches from a window in the top left corner, and two other figures (perhaps Melibea’s parents Alisa and Pleberio) watch from a balcony.The entire image is identical to the one found on the title page.

  [Indigenous Brazilians prepare an alcoholic beverage]

  Four Indigenous women crouch around large pots on the ground. They chew roots (manioc/cassava) and then spit them into the vats, after which the concoction is boiled and strained. A woman holding a small child stands nearby watching. A man holding a bow and arrow also peers over the shoulders of the women. In the background two people tend to a large pot set over a fire, while another individual passes by carrying a large basket on their back. Several structures are also visible on the left and right. This illustration is a simplified and mirrored version of the one found on page 46 verso of Paris, 1557.

  Qvinta Calle Cipascona

  The author explains that there were ten paths for women to follow in the Inca Empire based on age division. This group was called sipsacona [pretty young women]. These women were thirty-three years old and were deemed to be at a marriageable age. The author explains that no man could marry these women without their personal consent. A young woman with long hair is depicted standing in the centre of the image as she spins yarn. The caption on the image reads “de edad de treynta y tres años, donzelas para casar y acudan a la comunidad y sapci,” which translates to “thirty-three years old, maidens of marriageable age and aid the community and sapsi.”
