Notes

[a] 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.
[b] 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).
