Francceso Maria I, duke of Urbino (d. 1538) married Eleanora Gonzaga in 1509. The proposed date 'before 1527' relies on the presumed death of the scribe Lodovico Arrighi in that year; Maria Saffiotti Dale, in <title>Dizionario biografico dei miniatori italiani</title>, edited Milvia Bollati (Milan, 2004), 900-1, suggests c. 1535-7 as more plausible stylistically.</provenance>
