Onofrio which some Peruginesques repainted at a later period under orders from Perugino to whom the commission had been entrusted? (Vasari mentions the existence of .a dead Christ between the Virgin and Evangelist, in S. Piero Maggiore, VI. 39. Borghini states in his lliposo II. note to p. 151, that it had come in his time into the cappella Medici.
