[a] The new chapel was mostly complete by the start of March 1572 according to the modern calendar, which explains why the tomb is dated 1571 as it was according to the Florentine, ab Incarnatione calendar. According to Tim Carter, the family paid a large sum on 19 April 1572 for work completed through 3 March 1571/2. See Tim Carter, “Music and Patronage in Late Sixteenth-Century Florence: The Case of Jacopo Corsi (1561-1602).” I Tatti Studies: Essays in the Renaissance 1 (1985): 57–104, esp. 89n11, doi.org/10.2307/4603641.
[b] Alessandro Fei signed and dated his altarpiece 1575, final payments for which were settled on 21 October of that year. See Carter, p. 89n11.
[c] According to Carter (p. 60), final arrangements for the altar's endowment were settled in 1579.
