the listing is known. The contents of the scrittoio can therefore only be reconstructed tentatively. Drawings, such as those in the Codex Geymüller, initiated by Antonio the Elder and expanded by Francesco well into the 1540s, were probably stored there, and these might have included works by other artists.202 The Codex Barberiniano (Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana), a folio volume of architectural drawings by Giuliano later annotated by Francesco, is first documented in the collection of Benedetto di Bartolomeo Gondi in 1609, just a few years after the sale of the Casa Sangallo.203 Like the existence of copies of the drawings in the Codex Barberiniano, this provenance suggests that architectural drawings by the Sangallos became coveted items for collectors and practitioners alike. It is known, for example, that Lorenzo Sirigatti, who published a book on perspective in 1596, owned a ‘framed perspectival drawing by Sangallo’.204 Francesco’s only securely attributed bronze sculpture is St John baptising, made for the holy water font of S. Maria delle Carceri, the centrally-planned church in Prato designed by his father (Fig.36).205 His second will indicates that he owned many more, mingled with ancient examples, but none has been securely identified.206 In addition to bronze sculptures, the scrittoio collection to Francesco, see Tomasso XXV: A Celebration of Notable Sales, London 2018, pp.58–59. 207 On Francesco’s medallic selfportraits, see Donetti, op. cit. (note 60), pp.103–21; see also Middeldorf, op. cit. (note 68), pp.124–28 and 138. 208 Donetti, op. cit. (note 60), p.106. For an example of the medal dated 1551 with Francesco on the obverse and his wife on the reverse, see Museo Nazionale del Bargello, Florence, inv. no.6233. 209 I. Lavin: ‘Divine grace and the remedy of the imperfect: Michelangelo’s signature on the St Peter’s Pietà’, Artibus et historiae 34 (2013), pp.277–328. 210 For an overview, including a partial translation of the Martelli letters, see P. Attwood: Italian Medals c.1530–1600 in British Public Collections, London 2003, I, pp.330–34, II, pls.166–72; for a complete transcription, see Waldman, op. cit. (note 182), pp.103–04. See also Donetti, op. cit. (note 19), pp.89–90. 211 For references to books owned by artists of the Florentine Renaissance, see Carl, op. cit. (note 200); D. Covi: ‘Four new documents concerning Andrea del Verrocchio’, Art Bulletin 48 (1966), pp.97–103; A. Decaria: ‘Un copista di classici italiani e i libri di Luca della Robbia’, Rinascimento 47 (2007), pp.243–87; and Z. Sarnecka: ‘Luca della Robbia and his books: the Renaissance artist as devotee’, Artibus et historiae 37 (2016), pp.291–301. See also F. Ames- Lewis: The Intellectual Life of the Early Renaissance Artist, New Haven and London 2000. 212 For the unlikely possibility that Giuliano and Francesco da Sangallo owned, annotated and illustrated a copy of the editio princeps of Cristoforo Landino’s commentary on Dante’s Divine Comedy in the Biblioteca Vallicelliana, Rome, see Degenhart, op. cit. (note 38), pp.101– 287; and Gamberini, op. cit. (note 185), pp.169–91, at p.174. For copies of Pliny’s Natural History available in fifteenth-century Florence, see R. Brennan: ‘Between Pliny and the trecento: Ghiberti on the history of painting’, in F. Jonietz, W.-D. Löhr and A. Nova, eds: Ghiberti Teorico: Natura, arte e coscienza storica nel Quattrocento, Milan 2019, pp.43–60, at p.43, note 12. 36. St John baptising, by Francesco da Sangallo. c.1535–38. Bronze, height 53 cm. (Frick Collection, New York).
