The study traces the route of an engraving in which a knight laying in bed is represented that since L’histoire d’Olivier de Castille (Basilea, 1492) arrives to the CCM (Burgos, ¿1499?) through the mediation of Cárcel de amor (Zaragoza, 1493). The engraving of Olivier lovesick for the princess would have been the model for Leriano's, that would have been followed in the representation of Calisto resting after his first night of love with Melibea (act XIII). This relation between the three works would indicate a dependence of LC with regards to the sentimental and chivalresque novels.
