NOTES:

[1] Following the suppression of the religious orders and confiscation of their property that occurred in Spain after 1835, many appropriated art works such as tomb slabs were stored in the Convento de San Pedro Mártir as they awaited sale. The Brummer Gallery stock cards for these slabs indicate they were purchased from San Pedro Mártir, but do not give a date or the name of the purchaser.
