[Footnote 306: A few of the names that obtained least celebrity in Siena are pointed out by P. M. della Valle in the third volume of the Lettere Senesi, (p. 459,) among which are found Crescienzio Gamberelli Nasinesco, Deifobo Burbarini, a poor artist, Aurelio Martelli, called Il Mutolo, Gio. Batista Ramacciotti, a priest and connoisseur in painting; and the same may be said of Bernardino Fungai, and of the noble Marcello Loli, of Galgano Perpignano, with others of like merit, either omitted or slightly mentioned by Sig. Pecci. P. della Valle excuses himself from the task of treating of them in favor of happier writers, but as we do not pretend to aspire to that felicity, we shall leave others to avail themselves of the Father's liberality.] END OF VOL. I. J. M'Creery, Tooks Court, Chancery-lane, London. Transcriber's Notes: Archaic punctuation and spelling of words, names, titles, and places, were not changed. Minor punctuation errors were corrected. Inconsistent hyphenation was standardized. Footnotes were moved to the end of each chapter. A chapter heading was added to Florentine School, Epoch I, Section III, for consistency with remaining chapters. In the original, footnote 244 contains an oversized letter 'I' in the word 'COPISQVE,' to represent a double 'I' of the word 'COPIISQVE.' In the phrase 'signed _f_. 4 _s_', the figure '4' is rotated 180 degrees in the original text. The following changes were made for consistency within the text. 'basso rilievos' and 'bassorilievos' to 'basso-relievos' 'mezzo-rilievo' and 'mezzorilievo' to 'mezzo-relievo' 'Pieta' to 'Pietà' 'Trinita' to 'Trinità' 'Winckelman' to 'Winckelmann' 'Zannetti' to 'Zanetti' Other Changes: Page reference for Epoch V in the Table of Contents corrected from 353 to 335.
