Windecke’s “frouen brüder” should probably read “grauen brüder,” that is, the Franciscan order. Windecke’s manuscript only survives in a copy, and the copyist must have introduced the error; see Kéry, Kaiser Sigismund, 157.

Paolo Valesio (Manchester: Manchester University Press, 1984), 11–76; Friedrich Ohly, “Ausserbildlisch Typologisches zwischen Cicero, Ambrosius und Aelred von Rievaulx (1976),” and his “Halbbiblische und ausserbiblische Typologie (1976),” reprinted in his Schriften zur mittelalterlichen Bedeutungsforschung (Darmstadt: Wiss.

58Cf. John iii. 14: “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up,” referring to the crucifixion.

59For the frescos, see Leopold D. Ettlinger, The Sistine Chapel Before Michelangelo: Religious Imagery and Papal Primacy (Oxford: Clarendon, 1965), who remarkably enough does not comment upon the visual typology at work in the comparison between Moses and Christ.

60For ancestry in the Late Middle Ages and Renaissance, read Christiane Klapisch-Zuber, l’Ombre des ancêtres: Essai sur l’imaginaire médiéval de la parenté (Paris: Fayard, 2000). For family trees, her “The Genesis of the Family Tree,” I Tatti Studies 4 (1991): 105–29.

61The manuscript is Piero da Castelletto, Elogio funebre di Gian Galeazzo Visconti, Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris, Ms. Lat. 5888, with the genealogy depicted on fols. 7r–12v. For an illustration, see Arte Lombarda dai Visconti agli Sforza (Milan: Silvana, 1958), plate LXIV.

62Enrico Narducci, Prediche inedite del B. Giordano Rivalto (Bologna: Gaetano Romagnoli, 1867), 170–1:

Faceano i santi quelle dipinture per dare più chiara notizia alle genti del fatto; sicchè queste dipinture, e spezialmente l’antiche, che vennono di Grecia anticamente, sono di tropo grande autoritade, perocchè là entro conversaro molti santi che ritrassero le dette cose, e diederne copia al mondo, delle quali si trae autorità grande, sicomme si tra di libri.”
