A miscellany of bronze works and texts in the Zibaldone of Buonaccorso Ghiberti

The article focuses on Buonaccorso Ghiberti’s Zibaldone, specifically on drawings, annotations and notes concerning production of bells, cannons and other weapons, and a couple of sketches of funerary equestrian monuments. Some possible references are then shown, highlighting some technical casting solutions, suggesting that they may have already been utilized by Lorenzo and Vittorio Ghiberti. In the appendix, the drawings and transcripts of the Zibaldone pages here studied.
