Note 4 — Chapter I · HISTORY OF THE PAVEMENT

Mil. Doc., vol. i. p. 176–178. An earlier notice as to the floor itself, dated 1362, exists it is true, and runs as follows: “a lo schalzetta matonaio—per matoni che sebero per amatonare lo spazzo di duomo intorno al altare di duomo L. 11 sol. 6.” (Archivio dell’ Opera del Duomo. Entrata e Uscita ad annum). But this clearly only refers to the laying down of an ordinary floor; perhaps a platform for the high altar. Cf. Padre Prof. Everardo Micheli. Il Pavimento del Duomo, etc. Note f.
