[26] The masked characters, each of which spoke the dialect of the place he represented, were (according to Baretti) _Pantalone_, a Venetian merchant; _Dottore_, a Bolognese physician; _Spaviento_, a Neapolitan braggadocio; _Pullicinella_, a wag of Apulia; _Giangurgulo_ and _Coviello_, clowns of Calabria; _Gelfomino_, a Roman beau; _Brighella_, a Ferrarese pimp; and _Arlecchino_, a blundering servant of Bergamo. Besides these and a few other such personages (of whom four at least appeared in each play), there were the _Amorosos_ or _Innamoratos_, men or women (the latter not before 1560, up to which time actresses were unknown in Italy) with serious parts, and _Smeraldina_, _Colombina_, _Spilletta_, and other _servettas_ or waiting-maids. All these spoke Tuscan or Roman, and wore no masks. [27] _Pasitea_. [28] _Amicizia_. [29] _Milesia_. [30] _La Lena_; _Il Negromante_. [31] _La Cassaria_; _I Suppositi_. [32] Of Machiavelli's other comedies, two are prose adaptations from Plautus and Terence, _La Clizia_ (Casina) and _Andria_; of the two others, simply called _Commedie_, and in verse, his authorship seems doubtful. [33] _La Cortigiana_, _La Talanta_, _Il Ipocrito_, _Il Filosofo_. [34] _Momolo Cortesan_ (_Jerome the Accomplished Man_); _La Bottega del caffé_, &c. [35] _La Vedova scaltra_ (_The Cunning Widow_); _La Putta onorata_ (_The Respectable Girl_); _La Buona Figlia_; _La B. Sposa_; _La B. Famiglia_; _La B. Madre_ (the last of which was unsuccessful; "goodness," says Goldoni, "never displeases, but the public weary of every thing"), &c.; and _Il Burbero benefico_, called in its original French version _Le Bourru bienfaisant_. [36] _Molière_; _Terenzio_; _Tasso_. [37] _Pamela_; _Pamela Maritata_; _Il Filosofo Inglese_ (_Mr Spectator_). [38] _L' Amore delle tre melarancie_ (_The Three Lemons_); _Il Corvo_. [39] _Turandot_; _Zobeïde_. [40] _L' Amore delle tre m._ (against Goldoni); _L' Angellino Belverde_ (_The Small Green Bird_), (against Helvetius, Rousseau and Voltaire). [41] _Aspasia_; _Polyxena_. [42] _Ephemeridophobos_. [43] _Timoleon_; _Konstantinos Palaeologos_; _Rhigas of Pherae_. [44] _The Three Hundred_, or _The Character of the Ancient Hellene_ (Leonidas); _The Death of the Orator_ (Demosthenes); _A Scion of Timoleon_, &c. [45] The term is the same as that used in the old French collective mysteries (_journées_). [46] In some of his plays (_Comedia Serafina_; _C. Tinelaria_) there is a mixture of languages even stranger than that of dialects in the Italian masked comedy. [47] _Necromanticus_, _Lena_, _Decepti_, _Suppositi_. [48] _Los Engaños_ (_Gli Ingannati_). [49] _Cornelia_ (_Il Negromante_). [50] Lope, _Armelina_ (Medea and Neptune as _deus ex machina_--si modo machina adfuisset). [51] _Menennos_.
