[a] The chapel was founded by Manetto di Spigliato da Filicaia, who died in 1369.
[b] The chapel is noted in one of his heir's 1427 catasto declaration (37: 1051v) as having been founded by Manetto, but it is not clear whether he did so before his death in 1368 or early 1369 or through a testamentary bequest. His last will, as described by his grandson Piero di Niccolaio, definitely required his descendants to fund annual masses in the chapel on the feasts of Mary Magdalene and John the Evangelist.
[c] Piero's father died on May 21st, 1412, but Piero did not reach age 18 until about 1415. He and his mother Biagia claimed the chapel among their financial obligations in their 1427 catasto declaration.
