Notes

  • [a] Rosselli describes the tomb as above the stairs and at the foot of the little chapel.
  • [b] 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).
  • [c] Rosselli described the altar as without any arms or other signs
