| Commentary | "21. Viñeta. Habia un loco de Cordova, que dio en la mania de llevar en la cabeza un canto, y dexarle caer á plomo sobre los perros que hallaba descuidados: hizo esta burla al de un bonetero, como lo representa la estampa: alza el grito el perro: oyele su amo, y saliendo de su casa armado con una vara de medir no dexó hueso sano al loco. Figurase tambien la iglesia catedral de cordoba. Al principio del Prologo de la P.II" ("Esplicacion de la estampas". Vol. V, p. 432).

| Notes | 1 - According to the "Esplicacion de la estampas" (vol. V, pp. 432), the church in the background should be the Cathedral of Córdoba, but it is not (the real Cathedral of Córdoba is surrounded by the Mosque). |
