  Von Medea der künigin colchurum

  Jason of Thessaly and Medea of Colchis are illustrated riding on a horse together as they flee from Medea’s father, King Aeetes. Boccaccio explains that Medea betrayed her father by helping Jason on his task to find the Golden Fleece. Jason is seated at the front of the horse and Medea is riding behind him. We know that this is Jason and Medea as their names are engraved beside their heads in order to identify them. Medea is depicted holding a severed head in her right hand, which is the head of her brother, Aegialeus (his name is also engraved beside his head). Medea had dismembered her own brother and scattered his limbs around the road behind her and Jason in order to distract her father from pursuing them. King Aeetes is illustrated on the left-hand side of the engraving as he is picking up his son’s limbs.

  [Act XII (First Illustration) – Calisto Talks to Melibea and Lucrecia Through Melibea’s Door While Sempronio and Pármeno Stand Guard]

  As midnight approaches, Calisto (central figure), Sempronio (leftmost figure), and Pármeno (left-central figure) leave for Melibea’s house. Calisto asks Pármeno to knock on her door, but Pármeno replies that it would be best if his was the first voice she heard. When Calisto knocks, he is first greeted by Lucrecia (rightmost figure?), who confirms his identity. Calisto and Melibea (right-central figure; only her shoulder and headpiece are showing) talk for some time through the door, but soon Pármeno and Sempronio hear a commotion in the distance and flee. They realize the noise is coming from the alguacil’s (justice’s) men patrolling another street, and they head back toward Melibea’s house. However, the alguacil’s men soon enter upon the street where Melibea’s house lies, causing Calisto and his servants to flee to Calisto’s house. While Calisto takes his rest, Sempronio and Pármeno decide to pay Celestina a visit.

  Listening at the door.

  In this image Anne Steele listens at the door while Lucy and Edward were discussing their engagement. Anne reiterates what he heard at the door to Elinor while on a walk in Hyde Park. Elinor wondered how she knew everything and asked if she was in the room while they discussed their plans. She said she was listening at the door and Elinor was appalled at the impropriety of this. This scene occurs in chapter 38. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Anne Steele wears a regency style dress with an empire waistline. The regency period dated to the early nineteenth century (1811-1820) when George, Prince of Wales, later George IV (r. 1820-1830), reigned as regent for his mentally ill father, King George III (r. 1760-1820). The regency period is associated with the rise of neoclassicism in art and fashion.

  Martin Pelaez

  This image depicts Martin Pelaez, an Asturian knight previously noted for his cowardice. The Cid was able to make him into a worthy and brave knight over time, in part due to the shame that he was not allowed to sit with the more worthy knights while they ate. He was instead made to sit at the Cid’s table, which would normally be an honour but was in this case supposed to reinforce that he was not like the other knights due to his cowardice.
