Each entry notes patrons, heraldic devices, subjects copied from earlier works, and occasional presentations, with details of composition such as shields, crests, mosaic grounds, and altar or staircase placements. The account emphasizes craftsmanship and provenance by specifying commissions, donors, and where panels were installed or transferred.
