Notes

  • [a] Bent 1993, p. 624, doc. 13.
  • [b] Maestro Benvenuto died on September 26th, 1348 and his testament, drawn up by ser Nello Ghetti, would have been completed before that date. He bequeathed 150 gold florins for the construction of the chapel. The chapel was not completed, however, until 1354.
  • [c] The monks referred to maestro Benvenuto medico as their dear friend and benefactor–"nostro caro amico e benefattore" (see Bent, 1993, p. 624, doc. 13). In the history of the convent recorded in the Registro Nuovo (Bent, p. 607, doc. 1), the patron is named as Maestro Benvenuto di Ser Jacopo, but elsewhere in the same document he is called maestro Benvenuto or maestro Benvenuto medico. (Ibid., 624, doc. 13; 731, doc. 91). Given that the arms cited by Stefano Rosselli for this chapel are those of the del Bianco family, this must be the doctor Magister Benvenutus medicus fil. magistri Bianchi magistri Nuti populi S. Petri Majoris, referenced in the notarial papers of ser Salvi Dini in 1345, pace Tigler (138n71) who follows the Registro Nuovo in its usage of ser Jacoppo as a patronym. Maestro Benvenuto is credited as the pater familias of the del Bianco family in the Priorista Mariani.
