    Deposit 53 florins 4 lire

    by Arte di Porta Santa Maria, the silk weavers guild. Although there is no concrete documentary evidence to show that Sandro Botticelli executed a painting it has been established by circumstantial documentary evidence the Coronation of the Virgin with saints, now in the Uffizi, was indeed painted for the guild's chapel in the Church of San Marco in Florence sometime after 1488. The Santa Maria Nuova deposit, therefore, must be connected to this project.

    Bank Account Consolidated

    Rekoned in fiorini larghi di grossi, and transferred to another series of account books, the Libri maestri. Here the account was valued at
    121 fiorini
    16 soldi
    8 danari. The transfer was probably made for accounting reasons, as the monies in the Quademo di cassa were in two different coins and had never been entered into the hospital's Libri di entrata. The transfer allowed for the payments to be recorded not only in the Libro di entrata but also in the hospital's own capital.
