Notes

[a] The marker for the tomb acquired by Lapo di Niccolino Sirigatti was moved to its present location between 1596, where it is still described in its 1439 position as between the tombs of the Giugni and Lottini families, and 1652 when Stefano Rosselli compiled his description of Santa Croce. He found the marker to the right of the door that leads from the cemetery loggia into the church's north aisle, underneath the arms from the tomb of Lando da Meleto "più basso a canto alla porta." Rosselli appended this description to his entry for Lando's memorial (no. 27) rather than Lapo's (no. 186), thus giving the mistaken impression that Lapo had two tombs in the north cemetery when in fact he had only one that was moved. This confusion has led later authors to the erroneous conclusion that the family owned three tombs in the north cemetery rather than only two (nos. 165 and 186).
[b] Stefano Rosselli describes an "armicina," or little coat of arms, representing the Niccolini Sirigatti family. The ASFi copy omits the autograph version's indication that the marker was made of marble.
[c] The Beni Culturali catalog notes that the inscription's capital letters bear resemblance to those carved in the second half of the fifteenth century, and it is impossible to know whether Lapo's name was present on the monument as early as 1341.
[d] According to the Beni Culturali catalog, the coat of arms dates to the fourteenth century while the inscription, which carries the date 1341, appears to have been added or recut in the fifteenth century.
