1462.

On the 15th day of September Giulio began the lock of my studio 1494.

1463.

Saturday morning the 3rd of August 1504 Jacopo the German came to live with me in the house, and agreed with me that I should charge him a carlino a day.

1464.

1511.  On the 26th of September Antonio broke his leg; he must rest 40 days.

[Footnote:  This note refers possibly to Beltraffio.]

1465.

I left Milan for Rome on the 24th day of September, 1513, with Giovanni [Footnote 2:  Giovan; it is not likely that Leonardo should have called Giovan’ Antonio Beltraffio at one time Giovanni, as in this note and another time Antonio, as in No. 1464 while in No. 1458 l. 16 we find Giovan’Antonio, and in No. 1436, l.6 Beltraffio.  Possibly the Giovanni here spoken of is Leonardo’s less known pupil Giovan Pietrino (see No. 1467, 5).], Francesco di Melzi [Footnote 2,3:  Francesco de’ Melzi is often mentioned, see Nos. 1350.], Salai [Footnote 3:  Salai.  See No. 1519 note.], Lorenzo and il Fanfoia.

[Footnote 4:  Lorenzo.  See No. 1351, l. 10 (p. 408).  Amoretti gives the following note in Mem.  Stor.  XXIII: 1505. Martedi—­sera a di 14 d’aprile.  Venne Lorenzo a stare con mecho:  disse essere d’eta d’anni 17 .. a di 15 del detto aprile ebbi scudi 25 d’oro dal chamerlingo di Santa Maria nuova. This, he asserts is derived from a MS. marked S, in quarto.  This MS. seems to have vanished and left no trace behind; Amoretti himself had not seen it, but copied from a selection of extracts made by Oltrocchi before the Leonardo MSS. were conveyed to Paris on the responsibility of the first French Republic.  Lorenzo, by this, must have been born in 1487.  The sculptor Lorenzetto was born in 1490.  Amoretti has been led by the above passage to make the following absurd observations: 

Cotesto Lorenzo, che poi gli fu sempre compagno, almeno sin che stette in Italia, sarebb’ egli Lorenzo Lotto bergamasco?  Sappiamo essere stato questo valente dipintore uno de’bravi scolari del Vinci (?).

Il Fafoia, perhaps a nickname.  Cesare da Sesto, Leonardo’s pupil, seems to have been in Rome in these years, as we learn from a drawing by him in the Louvre.

1466.

On the 3rd day of January.

Benedetto came on the 17th of October; he stayed with me two months and 13 days of last year, in which time he earned 38 lire, 18 soldi and 8 dinari; he had of this 26 lire and 8 soldi, and there remains to be paid for the past year 12 lire 10 soldi.

Giodatti (?) came on the 8th day of September, at 4 soldi a month, and stayed with me 3 months and 24 days, and earned 59 lire 14 soldi and 8 dinari; he has had 43 lire, 4 soldi, there remains to pay 16 lire, 10 soldi and 8 dinari.

Benedetto, 24 grossoni.
