A stab at it: Likewise, in that time was made the chassuble and the pallium de cremosi figured (embroidered?) almost anew out of the alms of Sor Eufrosina de Sforza degli Oddi; it cost 60 florins. and in 1496: "Item, > fece fare la palla grande per lo altare della chiesia de fore lavorata > dalle sore tucte de oro et seta come appare nella sacrestia." > > Does fore = fuori? Is there in this case a church outside a monastic church for others' use, as is found in various places? Likewise [is there a subject missing?] caused to be made the great pall for the altar of the church outside worked by all the sisters of gold & silk as appears [is found?] in the sacresty.
