[
Footnote: With regard to Vante or Attavante, the miniature painter  
not Nanni as I formerly deciphered this name, which is difficult to  
(
read; see Zeitschrift fur Bild. Kunst, 1879, p. 155), and Vasari,  
Lives of Frate Giovanni da Fiesole, of Bartolommeo della Gatta, and  
of Gherardo, miniatore. He, like Leonardo, was one of the  
committee of artists who, in 1503, considered the erection and  
placing of Michel Angelo's David. The date of his death is not  
known; he was of the same age as Leonardo. Further details will be  
found in 'Notizie di Attavante miniatore, e di alcuni suoi lavori'  
(
Milanese's ed. of Vasari, III, 231-235).]

On Thursday I took 1 florin for my own spending.
