Notes

  • [a] It is possible that the Rinforzati in the priorate and the Riforzati da Prato listed by Padgett as not admitted to the priorate before 1494 are in fact the same group, as suggested by the Ceramelli Papiani archive.
  • [b] Bonino di Jacopo never used his surname in election purses, only his occupational name Faber or Fabbro.
  • [c] If Bonino is the grandfather of Bonino di Jacopo fabbro, who served as prior three times as well as other offices between 1383 and 1422, then he was a member of the family was sometimes known as the Rinforzati.
