Notes

  • [a] Together with his nephew Michele di Jacopo, Francesco sold the altar and its accompanying tomb to members of the da Monteauto family.
  • [b] Ser Francesco's mother was named Tessa is the likely honoree, and probable patron, of this tomb even though the transcription of its inscription (S. di Mona Tessa di S. Francesco di Laino del Cerna et de suoi) suggests instead that she was his daughter. It would be peculiar for an unmarried woman to commission a tomb for herself and any descendants would be indirect heirs. The widow mona Tessa, however, would have reason and means to commission a tomb for herself, her oldest son ser Francesco, and their collective descendants.
  • [c] Rosselli notes that the macigno plaque was high on the wall and specifically mentioned the Captains of Orsanmichele (Capitani d'Orsanmichele).
  • [d] Stefano Rosselli drew the arms of the Ermini with a diagonal band between two pairs of stars as described in the Ceramelli Papiani archive and provided color notes. Inexplicably, the ASFi copyist left out the notes and changed the band to a horizontal position.
  • [e] Though the San Jacopo tomb was sold in 1540, the Ermini arms were taken down only in 1542 as attested by a contract, according to Rosselli, that was drawn up on June 15th, 1542 by ser Piero di ser Bartolo dal Pontassieve on behalf of chapel patron Cristofano di Lorenzo da Montauto. The contract might be preserved in ASFi, Notarile antecosimiano, vol. 17249 or 17250 (copy).
