Notes

  • [a] Ser Franceschino was active as a notary in Florence from 1330 to 1365, suggesting a birth year around 1300 or soon thereafter.
  • [b] Ser Franceschino left his estate in 1365 to the Camaldolese monastery of Santa Maria degli Angeli and the confraternities of the Misericordia and Orsanmichele.
  • [c] Mastursi cites 39 documents notarized by ser Francesco between these two dates.
  • [d] Ser Franceschino left one-third of his estate to the compagnia della Misericordia in 1365, suggesting that he was a member of the confraternity.
  • [e] Ser Franceschino left one-third of his estate to the compagnia d'Orto San Michele in 1365, suggesting that he was a member of the confraternity.
  • [f] Ser Franceschino left one-third of his estate to the monks of Santa Maria degli Angeli in 1365.
  • [g] Given that Ser Franceschino is documented as a notary in Florence from 1330, it seems that he was born around the turn of the fourteenth century.
  • [h] Mastursi only documents ser Francesco in the parish of San Lorenzo through 1349, but we have no evidence that he moved after that date. Tigler (133n46) notes that he lived in Via Martelli-Via Cavour and implies that his testament was written from this residence.
