Notes

  • [a] Alberti secure patronage either by meeting with friars and heads of five Alberti families or through will of Alberto di Lapo degli Alberti
  • [b] Agnolo Gaddi decorates chapel with scenes of Holy Cross
  • [c] testament of Alberto di Lapo degli Alberti leaving 500 gold florins for funerary chapel to be built by heirs
  • [d] The Priorista Mariani noted that the Doffi arms could be seen "under the vaults" (sotto le volte) of Santa Croce underneath the high altar, that is, in the center of the subterranean crypt.
