NOTES
Foto sup 1922, verso del supporto secondario: nota anonima manoscritta: "Firenze. Duomo. Monument to Sir John Hawkwood, one of the Black / Princes captains, who came into Italy in 1364 and went on slanghtering / and robbing and blackmailing until his death in 1394. / E la repubblica, says Gregorius, che negò sepoltura a Dante / eresse a quel ladro un onorevole monumento nel suo duomo. / There is a good story about this Messer Giovanni Augut a / due frati minori in Sacchetti's novelle. "Dio vi tolga la / vostra elemosina", answered he to them on their saying to him: / "Dio vi chà pace. / [...] / Vasari makes an amusing remark about Paolo not being / pratico con cavalli, which proves that Giorgio himself / was not so very knowing in horseship. / Hawkwood could not write; his secretary signed for him [...] H. / put his seal to the document".
