Cesare Ripa is (c. 1560 – c. 1622), and the whole genre "Emblem books" comes from Andrea Alciato (May 8, 1492 – January 12, 1550), with a first book 1531.
3 eyes for Prudentia with explanation past-now-future is a nice time allegory and for Dante and Chaucer, that's rather early. Nice finding.
In Alberti's Philodoxus from 1424 (a theater play, comedy, with allegorical figures) Father Time meets Fortune and each of them has 3 helpers. One of the assistants of Father Time is his daughter, something like "Truth". There there are 3 pairs of lovers:
Fortunatus ... who marries Fame (this is the lover sponsored by Fortune, a negative hero)
Philodoxus ... who marries Doxa, which means something like glory (Doxa is the better sister of Fame). Philodoxus is the positive hero.
Then there is the true hero, Phroneus, friend of Philodoxus, a sort of Prometheus. He is married to Mnimia, which is "memory", and she is the guardian of Father Time's daughter "Truth". He had lost Mnimia, but finds her again. Mnimia isn't a beauty, but has other advantages.
"Truth" is rather silent and doesn't speak very much, maybe two words or so.
But I guess, she's Prudentia.
So the relationship between Prudence and Father Time is so, that she's his daughter, not identical (to Alberti).
14th century is simply a rather bad century with many plagues and problems. So literature and other cultural activities are somehow less than in 13th century.
Humanism and book culture exploded with 15th century. The number of intellectual and reading and writing persons increased dramatically. Surely the new-allegories-makers attempted to create "according the values of the past", but otherwise they were simply "modern". There's a jump in the societies, the old law of the interaction of quantity and quality did its work.
100 intellectual and reading and writing persons cause specific effects.
10.000 cause more. That's another quality. Surely the 100 before hadn't been stupid, but the later situation causes kybernetic effects.
The number of existing books in Germany between 1500 - 1520 increased by the factor 6, so I've read. Well, that's a revolution (which actually took place, called "reformation"). So - between many other effects - also the theme "allegories" exploded.
Maybe around 1995 1% used internet. Nowadays 60-70% use it. That's another number and another quality. This situation is comparable to the dramatic changes during 15th and early 16th century.
