viii. the ducal palace. 359
.>■$: ■
Seventh side. " muscipulus." With a rat (?) in his mouth.
Eighth side. " ursus." With a honeycomb, covered with
large bees.
§'cxx. Twenty-first Capital. Represents the principal
inferior professions.
First side. An old man, with his brow deeply wrinkled,
and very expressive features, beating in a kind of mortar with
a hammer. Inscribed " lapictda sum."
Second side. I believe, a goldsmith; he is striking a small
flat bowl or patera, on a pointed anvil, with a light hammer.
The inscription is gone.
Third side. A shoemaker with a shoe in his hand, and an
instrument for cutting leather suspended beside him. Inscription undecipherable.
- Fourth side. Much broken. A carpenter planing .a beam
resting on two horizontal logs. Inscribed " carpentarius sum."
Fifth side. A figure shovelling fruit into a tub; the latter
very carefully carved from what appears to have been an excellent piece of cooperage. Two thin laths cross each other over
the top of it. The inscription, now lost, was, according to Selvatico, " mensurator" ?
Sixth side. A man, with a large hoe, breaking the ground,
which lies in irregular furrows and clods before him. Now
undecipherable, but according to Selvatico, " agrichola."
Seventh side. A man, in a pendent cap, writing on a large
scroll which falls over his knee. Inscribed "notarius
SUM."
Eighth side. A man forging a sword, or scythe-blade: he
wears a large skull-cap ; beats with a large hammer on a solid
anvil; and is inscribed " faeer sum."
§ cxxi. Twenty-second Capital. The Ages of Man; and
the influence of the planets on human life.
First side. The moon, governing infancy for four years,
according to Selvatico. I have no note of this side, having, I
suppose, been prevented from raising the ladder against it by
some fruit-stall or other impediment in the regular course of
my examination ; and then forgotten to return to it.
