The oldest cloister at Santa Maria degli Angeli was built in the fourteenth century to the west of the church. The chapter room, sacristy, and numerous chapels opened off of it and are grouped here, even though they are not technically in, but rather around, the cloister.

Notes

  • [a] According to Tigler (45, fig. 3D, no. 20), the Ognissanti altar stood in a second room of the sacristy next to the infirmary. The Registro Nuovo (Bent 1993, pp. 638-639, doc. 26-27) refers to the chapel as "of the infirmary" (la cappella dell'anfermeria nostra).
  • [b] Maestro Benvenuto died on September 26th, 1348 and his testament, drawn up by ser Nello Ghetti, would have been completed before that date. He bequeathed 150 gold florins for the construction of the chapel. The chapel was not completed, however, until 1354.
  • [c] Salvestro del maestro Benvenuto's bequest is recorded in the Registro Nuovo, compiled in 1402, and he was dead by late April 1394 when he was drawn for the priorate. (Priorista Mariani, fol. 1310; Bent 1993, 713, doc. 91)
  • [d] The chapel held its first mass on June 25th, 1354 and was documented in the 1580 sepoltuario, but it was no longer visible when Stefano Rosselli compiled his sepoltuario in the 1650s.
