Notes

  • [a] The ASFi copy mislabeled the arms corresponding to the tomb of Maestro Michele di Ser Meo Medico, numbering the drawing 43 when in fact it relates Michele's tomb at number 44. This led the copyist to index tomb 43 as Rossi con altr'Arme in S. Croce and the Ceramelli Papiani index to file the arms showing a rampant lion with a band carrying three shields or roundels with crosses as belonging to a group named Rossi (fasc. 4124). The autograph version of Rosselli's sepoltuario and the 1596 copy of the Santa Croce sepoltuario make clear that the arms of Michele, also seen in the Priorista Benvenuti, correspond to tomb 44 and not to the Rossi family, identified as the patrons of number 43. In other words, Michele was not part of the Rossi family, and no clan named Rossi used these arms, indicating that file 4124 in the Ceramelli Papiani archive is in error.
