the Cardinal Galeotto da
Pietramala, who bequeathed them to the friars of la Vernia, where he
wished to be buried, and where, besides the wall, which the Count
Orlando, lord of Chiusi, a small castle below la Vernia, had caused
to be set up, he built the church and many rooms in the convent, and
all this without leaving any notice or other memorial of himself in
any part of that place. Another pupil of Master Cione was Lionardo di
Ser Giovanni of Florence, who executed a number of works with the
chisel and with solder, with a better design than those who preceded
him, especially the altar and silver bas-reliefs of S. Jacopo at
Pistoia, where, beside a large number of subjects, the half-length
figure of St James, more than a braccia high, is much admired. It is
in full relief, and finished with such elaboration, that it seems to
have been cast rather than engraved. The figure is placed in the
midst of the scenes of the altar table, about which runs a legend in
letters of enamel:

Ad honorem Dei et S. Jacobi Apostoli, hoc opus factum fuit tempore
Domini Franc. Pagni dictae operae operarii sub anno 1371 per me

Now to return to Agostino and Agnolo, they had many pupils who
produced many works after them in architecture and sculpture in
Lombardy and other places in Italy. Among them was Jacopo Lanfrani of
Venice, who founded S. Francesco of Imola, and executed the
sculptures for the principal door, where he carved his name and the
date, 1343; for the church of S. Domenico at Bologna the same Master
Jacopo made a marble tomb for Gio. Andrea Calduino, doctor of law and
secretary of Pope Clement VI., and another very well executed also in
marble and in the same church for Taddeo Peppoli, protector of the
people and of justice at Bologna. In the same year, that is to say in
1347, after the completion of this tomb, or shortly before, Master
Jacopo returned to his native Venice and there founded the church of
S. Antonio, which was originally of wood, at the request of a
Florentine abbot of the ancient family of the Abati, M. Andrea
Dandolo, being doge at the time. This church was completed in the
year 1349.

Then again Jacobello and Pietro Paolo, Venetians, who were pupils of
Agostino and Agnolo, erected in S. Domenico at Bologna a marble tomb
for M. Giovanni da Lignano, doctor of laws, in the year 1383. All
these and many other sculptors continued for a long space of time to
