DABIT COLA IN VER PHOS BERA ACCIPI INNO ENS TA CENS CEBIT DORSV M (Receiving buffets he will be silent, to blows he will give his innocent back.) On her left is a tablet, borne by intertwined serpents, the words written upon it being: IN MANVS INIQVAS VENIET. DABVNT DEO ALAPAS MANIBVS IN CESTIS. MISERABILIS. ET IGNOMINIOSVS. MISERABILIBVS SPEM PRAEBEBIT. (He shall come into unjust hands. With impure hands they shall give stripes to God. He miserable and in ignominy will give hope to the miserable.) Guidoccio Cozzarelli was the author of this design in 1483,[59] but here again there exists no record of the sum paid for it. We may suppose though that these designs were all paid for at about the same rate.[60] The expense of its restoration was 2,352 lire 16 c. With the examination of the Libyan Sibyl, we find ourselves again at the Western end of the Church, and must betake ourselves back to-- 6. THE NORTH TRANSEPT. This Transept is covered with three large designs, all executed during the Rectorship of Alberto Aringhieri; two of which, at least, may have some political significance. The first we come to is-- _The Expulsion of Herod_ (No. 27). This vast composition, designed by Benvenuto Giovanni del Guasta in 1484–85, and for which he received 78 lire,[61] is full of charming grouping and delightful suggestion. It not impossibly alludes to the expulsion, which had then but recently taken place, of Pandolfo Petrucci and his followers. It must be remembered that, though Siena at this period was not involved in important external historical events, her internal history was one long record of party faction and strife, in which Aringhieri himself played a not unimportant part. (Ill. IX.) Benvenuto was a consummate draughtsman, and he was ably supported here by Bastiano di Francesco, who designed the delightful border of winged lions that frames the picture (Ill. XI.), and made sixty letters of marble for the same work.[62] [Illustration: LOMBARDI PHOTO.] [DESIGNED BY BENVENUTO DI GIOVANNI DEL GUASTA IX. THE EXPULSION OF HEROD (No. 27) (The entire panel)] We find several notices as to sums paid to workmen for executing this frieze, but only one speaks also of work on the design itself. From this, however, we learn that it was executed by Bernardino Antonio and Cristofano di Pietro Paolo del Quarantotto.[63] The other workmen employed on the frieze were Vito di Marco,[64] and Bartolommeo di Domenico.[65] With the exception of Vito di Marco, we have no record of these men, apart from notices of their work done on this Pavement. Perhaps they were scholars or apprentices of the better-known masters, and therefore not recorded more particularly. We also read that certain millers, by name Giusto Giovanni and Michele di Ludovicho, were paid 15 lire 14 c. for the porterage of 7,870 lbs. of black marble used in this design, and that “del onperadore.”[66] (Ill. X.)
