I’m convinced if Anthony lived in the year of our Lord, 2026, he would have kept that one on his notes app…and not published it. Not yet, not yet!

Ha!

(It does only exist in one manuscript, so perhaps that *was* his notes app...)

That is a phenomenally long epitaph! What size is the plaque?

Kudos to the patient historian who transcribed it!

Isn't it? I would love to have seen it... Sadly the whole chapel and all the tombs are now gone, so I'm particularly grateful to the various accounts of what was once there – but nothing I've found gives measurements!

A great read, thank you for this. Paintings of this era really were amazing, the symbolism is so incredibly rich and the attention to detail is something I personally find very inspiring. I could go on for longer but I’ve procrastinated writing this week’s Stack for long enough, redundantly “organising” my squeakbeast cages. XD
