The article analyzes the engraving of Calisto's fall in Burgos' CCM copy, and shows the influence that it has had on the illustrated editions of the work from the first half of the 16th century. The authors of the xilografy probably followed the iconographic representation of fall of Fortunate and the depositio Christi as a model, whether voluntarily or involuntarily.
