(1.) Solomoa stands 1. before his throne, on the step of which the
dead child lies. The executioner holds the living child under his 1. arm,
and is just drawing his sword to kill it. The true mother seizes the
executioner’s arm and appeals eagerly to the king; her rival makes a
deprecatory gesture of a less emphatic kind. On a tablet is the
(xylographic) inscription :
“ Saepe latet uerum, dum res sine teste gerutur,
At mens ofiicio proditur ipsa suo.”
(2.) In the r. compartment, separated from the other by a pillar, the
base of which bears the date 1539,1 Christ bends down and writes upon
the ground, while the woman stands before him with folded arms sur-
rounded by priests and others. A tablet holds the inscription :
“ JSTe facile alterius rephendas crimina uite,
Sed tua quanta uide, mantica terga pmat.”

A queen, in a robe lined with ermine, holding a sceptre in her 1. hand,
stands in profile to r. A scroil, starting near her r. hand, bears the
(xylographic) inscription, solvere . nodosam . nescit medicina podagram.
Three half-length figures, two of whom hold sceptres, are grouped round
her feet, with scrolls bearing their names, stigivs plvto, ivpiter,
neptvnvs. Single border (cut off at the right side). No signature.
Outside the border at the top is the title, podagkae lvdus, printed with

127. ALLEGORY RELATING TO TIIE GOUT. II. Pauli 1119.
A judge sits under a canopy, with one other person to 1., two to r., on
a raised dais. In the room below are a number of sufferers from gout,
1 Seidlitz and Pauli read the date as 1531, iu wkick I cannot follow tkem. The
style agrees closely with tkat of Beham’s engravings about 1510. Tkis portion of
the title, moreover, appeared for tke first time in tlie 1512 edniou of Gobler’s book,
whereas the bottom compartment, Pauli 1116 (7) kad alivady beeu iosued twice alone,
in 1536 and 1538. We may infer that the remaining compartments were not designed
till between 1538 and 1512.
