Ritratti nella gallaria [sic] del Sr. duca di Toscana, ca. 1610.

This anonymous manuscript contains an inventory of 157 portraits in the gallery of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, according to their location: first those on the right side ("Banda destra"), then on the left side ("Banda sinistra"), and those around the turn of the gallery ("La Gallaria qui volta"). The list begins with Giovanni di Bicci de' Medici, and his son, Cosimo the Elder, "Padre dela Patria." The portraits include rulers, warriors, sultans and generals, nobles, popes, church leaders and monks, artists, writers, scientists, navigators, etc. Most are Italian, but some are from other countries and continents. The last Grand Duke recorded in the inventory is Ferdinand I de' Medici, who reigned from 1587 to 1609.
