Notes

  • [a] The chapel was described by Rosselli as on the righthand side, presumably the first upon entering the church, but possibly closer to the high altar.
  • [b] The chapel carried two versions of the Becchi family arms, identified in the Ceramelli Papiani archive, fasc. 488 as types 2 and 3. One showed an uprooted tree framed by two rampant lions. In the other the animals stand on a six-peaked mount.
  • [c] Rosselli used a sepoltuario dated 1580 to describe certain altars that were no longer visible in his day.
