1 See, for example, Anthony Molho's article “Deception and Marriage Strategy in Renaissance Florence: The Case of Women's Ages,” Renaissance Quarterly 41 (Summer, 1988), 193-217, for suggestions from an earlier period about why Orazio lied about his daughter's age, and on the fear of exposing daughters to premarital sex, consenting or not.

2 Even the date of Artemisia's mother's death is omitted here. For the family's history readers still need to turn to R. Ward Bissell's fundamental archival study of 1968.
