Siena_, will be found in Gigli, vol. iv., and has been translated

Perfezione_ and a short collection of prayers, also printed in Gigli,
_L'opere_, etc., vol. iv.

to the Signoria. In the _Legazione al Duca Valentino_ (vol. vi. of
edition cited).
[55] In Lisini, _Relazioni tra Cesare Borgia e la Repubblica Senese_,

[58] The letters of this Legation in vol. vii. of edition cited.
[59] By a decree of the Balìa on September 14th, 1509; but this was
not quite such a recognition of his dynasty as might appear, because
a similar exception was made in 1518 (though only in their own homes)
for some of the Piccolomini.

[62] Duccio is last referred to as alive in a document of June, 1313,
and in 1318 his widow Taviana is described as _uxor olim Duccii
pictoris_. See A. Lisini, _Notizie di Duccio Pittore_, p. 33. On
Duccio's characteristics as a painter, the best thing is written by Mr
Berenson, _Central Italian Painters_, pp. 18-42.

[68] That is to say, if the Matteo Balducci who is mentioned as
Pinturicchio's pupil in a document of January 1509 is the same as
the Matteo Balducci who in 1517 became Bazzi's pupil for six years.
Frizzoni (_L'Arte Italiana del Rinascimento_, p. 183) holds that they
are two different persons.
