Notes

  • [a] Ser Guido di Domenico Pucci drew up the testament of Antonio di Domenico di Domenico Giugni on 23 January 1414 o.s. The literature has erroneously reported only the year as 1414, based on the publication of Werner Cohn in 1956. See ASFi, Notarile Antecosimiano, 17392, fol. 129 and Werner Cohn, “Notizie Storiche Intorno Ad Alcune Tavole Fiorentine Del ’300 e ’400,” Rivista d’arte 31 (1956): 52.
  • [b] The altarpiece of the Virgin and Child with Saints, presumably for the only altar in the country parish church, carried an inscription naming Antonio di Domenico Giugni as the patron and 1419 as the date of completion.
  • [c] When S. Maria a Latera was suppressed, the altarpiece was moved to the nearby church of S. Jacopo a Cavallina, where it was placed on the high altar.
  • [d] Antonio left 50 gold florins in his testament dated 23 January 1414 (o.s.) to pay for an altarpiece (tabula) depicting the Virgin Mary. It was installed in 1419 as indicated by its inscription
