Source Notes
Sy Scholfield quotes from "Le vite de' più eccellenti pittori, scultori ed architettori, Volume 5" by Giorgio Vasari (G. C. Sansoni, 1880), pp. 63-64: "La qual cosa mostrò chiaramente che per nessun modo si poteva intendere che in quel documento si parlasse del nostro Andrea. Ma avendo in servigio della presente ristampa ripreso le nostre ricerche ne' detti Registri de' Battezzati, ci venne fatto di leggere nella Matrice che dal 1479 va al 1489, sotto il 17 di luglio 1486, che 'Andrea e Domenico d'Angelo di Francesco, popolo di Santa Maria Novella, nacque a dì 16, hore 18.' E questo documento, che senza dubbio riguarda il nostro pittore, e ne stabilisce finalmente l'anno, il mese ed il giorno della nascita, toglierà di mezzo per se. apre ogni disputa o incertezza, che intorno a questo particolare della sua vita era stato fino ad ora.
Translation: This thing clearly showed that in no way could you understand that in that document was talk of our Andrea. But being in the service of this reprint our research takes us to these Registers of Baptism, where we read in the period from 1479 to 1489, on 17 July 1486, that "to Andrea and Domenico d'Angelo Francesco, citizens of Santa Maria Novella, was born on day 16, at 18 hours." This document, which is no doubt about our painter, establishes finally the year, month and day of birth, ending every dispute or uncertainty around this detail of his life until now.
Scholfield calculates sunset at 7:30pm so adding 18 hours for Florentine time makes 1:30pm.
Full name: Andrea d'Agnolo di Francesco di Luca di Paolo del Migliore Vannucchi
