Transcriber's note:

In the original text the name "Verrocchio" is, except for one
instance, misspelled as "Verrochio"; the name "Buonarroti" is
twice misspelled as "Buonarotti"; the name "Orcagna" is once
misspelled as "Orcagra"; and the name "Vasari" is once
misspelled as "Vassari." These have been corrected in this
e-text.

Variants, archaic forms, or Anglicizations of other names
(e.g., "Michael Angelo" for "Michelangelo"; "Or San Michele"
for "Orsanmichele"; "Brunellesco" for "Brunelleschi") have
been retained as they appear in the original.

Characters with macrons are indicated in brackets, e.g. [=U].

Characters following a caret character are superscripted, e.g.
M^a.
