circa 1353 (date is approximate) to circa 1413 (date is approximate)
surmised
presumed role based on incomplete evidence; for burials, we know the burial is in this church, we think it is in this tomb; for patronage and other relationships, there is evidence to suggest the connection, but it has not been confirmed
[a] Bonaccorso's activity spans the latest possible birth year for his election as prior in 1383 to his first registration as sick or otherwise impeded from service (malato, impedito) by Tratte officials, first on August 7th, 1404, and again on December 15th, 1405 and August 12th, 1406. Oddly, he was registered as deceased when drawn on September 13th, 1409, but again as sick on September 20th, 1410, a designation he received four more times by December 20th, 1412. When drawn for the Mercanzia on March 21st, 1413 (1412 o.s.), his name slip was destroyed, but he was not registered as deceased until being drawn for Guild Consul on April 16th, 1414. He was registered as deceased after an additional five drawings from various purses between 1415 and 1427.
[b] Given that Berardo's tomb in the nave of San Pancrazio carried the date 1413, he must have died in the Florentine year beginning on March 25th, 1413.
[u] given that Bonaccorso established a tomb in San Pancrazio's cloister and that the inscription on the nave tomb only provides a year, this tomb was surely installed after 1413, possibly much later
[v] the installation of this tomb may have coincided with Bonaccorso's entry into politics; he was first put into the sortition bags in 1381
[w] documented as serving this quarter and district in public office, memorials in San Pancrazio suggest that he, like his relatives, lived in the parish
[x] as both Buonaccorso Berardi and Buonaccorso di Berardo
