1 For convenience of reference the chapters in the two parts are
divided so as to cover the same periods of time in the life of the
master.

2 Count Alessandro da Canossa acknowledged relationship to Michael
Angelo in a letter, dated October 4, 1520 (Gotti, i. 4), addressing
the master as "honoured kinsman," but the relationship cannot now be
proved. The ancestors of Michael Angelo have been traced to one
Bernardo who died before the year 1228, and they played their part
as citizens of Florence, no mean city, for more than two hundred
years--a noble pedigree even for Michael Angelo.

3 A paid magistrate or mayor, generally from a neighbouring town or
country and not a citizen of the place where he was on duty.

4 Caprese is made up of scattered hamlets and farmhouses near Arezzo,
upon the watershed between the Tiber and the Arno.

5 Upon March 6, 1475, according to our present reckoning, Lodovico
wrote in his note-book:

"I record that on this day, March 6, 1474, a male child was born to
me. I gave him the name of Michael Angelo, and he was born on a
Monday morning four or five hours before daybreak, and he was born
while I was Podesta of Caprese, and he was born at Caprese; and the
godfathers were those I have named below. He was baptized on the
eighth of the same month in the Church of San Giovanni at Caprese."
Then follow the godfathers; there are ten of them.

6 Maestro Francesco only taught Michael Angelo to read and write in
the vulgar tongue, for his pupil complained in after life that he
knew no Latin; this was not Francesco's fault, for his pupil soon
followed his friend's--another Francesco--influence and neglected
literature for the art that made him famous.

7 Ghirlandaio, born 1449, died 1494.

8 Martin Schongauer, born at Colmar about 1450, died 1488.
