Note 18 — BOOK III.
Thomas Roscoe translation
He is favorably mentioned by Crispolti, in the Perugia Augusta; by Ciatti, in the Istorie di Perugia; Alessi, in the Elogi de' Perugini illustri; and by Pascoli, in the Vite de' Pittori Sc. Arch. Perugini; with whom I can in no manner concur in opinion, that "Benedetto was equal to the best artists of his time, and probably the first among the early masters who contributed to the introduction of an improved style," (p. 21). An assertion singularly unjust to Masaccio.
