Notes

[a] While Rosselli calls the north side of the church the "banda della strada" (street side), he does not give a moniker to the south side except to note that he is continuing his counter-clockwise movement through the church and turning back towards the high altar as he describes what is the right hand wall in that direction. The plaque was on the right wall between the second altar of the Comparini and the church pulpit.
[b] The plaque and altar of St. Michael were on either side of the pulpit, the former on its right, the latter on its left. All were along the right (south) wall when facing the high altar.
