Notes

  • [] Giuseppe Richa noted that the inscription was difficult to read thanks to its Gothic script, which he called "stravagante." He does not indicate how the words were arranged on the stone, but his reference to them as "versi" and his disposition of them in four lines suggests that they were lines of text, possibly using the letter "v" in place of "u" as was customary. He mistakenly transcribed the date as 1490 (MCCCCLXXXX) instead of the correct 1390 (MCCCLXXXX).
