Notes

  • [a] A Frater Raphael Bartholomei de Fivizzano appears in notarial records from S. Barnaba between 15 November 1501 and 2 June 1507. This is likely the same Fra Raffaello di Bartolomeo da Fivizzano associated with S. Spirito, another Augustinian house in Florence. Fra Raffaello appears in S. Spirito documents dated between 1493 and 1519, and he commissioned an altarpiece from Raffaellino del Garbo in 1516 while resident at S. Spirito. Though Waldman is hesitant to identify these Augustinian references as to the same person, it seems almost certain that they refer to the same man from Fivizzano.

    See Louis A. Waldman, “Raffaellino del Garbo and his World: Commissions, Patrons, Associates.” Artibus et Historiae 27, no. 54 (2006): 51–94, esp. 92n34. DOI 10.2307/20067123.
  • [b] Though the inscription is incomplete, its reference to Fivizzano and Raphael strongly suggests that the Augustinian friar was the altar's patron.
