Commentary | Reference to captive's tale; accurate to Cervantes' text: Zoraida "abrió la puerta y mostróse a todos tan hermosa y ricamente vestida que no lo acierto a encarecer. Luego que yo la vi, le tomé una mano y la comencé a besar, y el renegado hizo lo mismo, y mis dos camaradas" (41:1).
The scene is resolved with a very simple drawing/engraving. |
Notes | 1 - Acceptable/poor copy after Tony Johannot's illustration for Paris: Dubochet, 1836-37. |
