pianeta = chassuble
palio can mean pallium
I have found references to cremosi as meaning either a great quantity of
cloth or white, soft cloth
Might the text read "e'l"?
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,

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.
