Notes

  • [a] Ser Antonio's volumes in the Archivio di Stato di Firenze are dated from 1448 through 1495.
  • [b] Ser Antonio was elected notary of the Signoria on October 29th, 1459.
  • [c] Ser Antonio was elected secretary of the merchant court (Cancelliere della Mercanzia) in January 1476 and re-elected to the post for life in July of that year. See Luca Boschetto, “‘Domus Veritatis et Aequitatis’. Il Tribunale della Mercanzia e la risoluzione delle controversie commerciali a Firenze nell’età Laurenziana.” In Management and Resolution of Conflict and Rivalries in Renaissance Europe, edited by Jill Kraye, Marc Laureys, and David A. Lines, 77–107 (Bonn: V&R Unipress, 2023), p. 89.
  • [d] Luca Boschetto notes that Ser Antonio proudly recorded his election as Mercanzia Chancellor for life on 31 July 1476 in his Libro di ricordi found in ASFi, Acquisti e Doni, 11 (ins. 1), fol. 19r. See Boschetto, “‘Domus Veritatis et Aequitatis’. Il Tribunale della Mercanzia e la risoluzione delle controversie commerciali a Firenze nell’età Laurenziana.” In Management and Resolution of Conflict and Rivalries in Renaissance Europe, edited by Jill Kraye, Marc Laureys, and David A. Lines, 77–107 (Bonn: V&R Unipress, 2023), p. 89n30.

    This pride extended to ser Antonio's tomb in S. Jacopo sopr'Arno, whose inscription included his title M(ercantiae) Cancell(arii), indicating that Ser Antonio commissioned the tomb himself after receiving this office. Oddly, the known sepoltuari did not transcribe the inscription correctly, suggesting that by the late sixteenth century and certainly by Stefano Rosselli's day (1650-57), the abbreviation "M. Cancell." was unrecognizable to them. The mistakes also suggest that they were copying from other written sources and not the monument itself. The anonymous sepoltuario wrote: "S. S. Antonij et Batiste Bartolomei Marca et suorum descen," while Rosselli omitted the office and inserted words that are not present: "S. S. Antonij nelo, et Baptiste Bartholomei, et suorum Descend:" (autograph, p. 179, no. 12).
  • [e] Antonio's birth record filed in 1429 was registered in the Ferza gonfalone, which could account for the purported Bartolomei family presence in S. Pier Gattolini.
  • [f] Antonio's father registered his 1427 catasto declaration from the Nicchio gonfalone as ser Battista d'Antonio Verlioni da San Severino notaio. Antonio's sons Giovanni and Piero and nephew Girolamo di Bartolomeo were elected to the priorate from this gonfalone, suggesting the family had moved back, perhaps into the parish of San Jacopo sopr'Arno, where they had an altar and a tomb.
