[a] The tomb was transferred to Bernardo di Cinozzo purgatore before 1439, by which time the Stracciabende had died out, quite possibly at the end of the previous century given that the last record of them is dated 1365.
[b] Bernardo di Cinozzo purgatore certainly owned the old Stracciabende tomb before 1439, and it is likely that when he took possession, he removed reference to the former honoree. Curiously, Stefano Rosselli noted arms that were morphologically the same as those of the Stracciabende, but with different colors – seemingly red where the former was gold and white where it was blue. Could Bernardo have reused Rinuccio Stracciabende's sculpted arms but painted them to create a new family stemma for himself? Unfortunately the inscription was illegible by Rosselli's day making it difficult to know what, if anything, Bernardo did to the tomb after receiving rights to use it.
