I propose to leave these for the commencement of my next chapter, and to conclude the present with an account of his occupations during the summer months at Florence.
Signor Gotti says that he passed three months away from Julius in his native city.

Considering that he arrived before the end of April, and reached Bologna at the end of November 1506, we have the right to estimate this residence at about seven months.

A letter written to him from Rome on the 4th of August shows that he had not then left Florence upon any intermediate journey of importance.

Therefore there is every reason to suppose that he enjoyed a period of half a year of leisure, which he devoted to finishing his Cartoon for the Battle of Pisa.
It had been commenced, as we have seen, in a workshop at the Spedale dei Tintori.

When he went to Bologna in the autumn, it was left, exposed presumably to public view, in the Sala del Papa at S.Maria Novella.
