The statues of the Campanile of the Florentine Cathedral in the early 15th century are well-known especially for Donatello's Jeremiah and Zuccone. However, the project for the Campanile 1415-1436 is very problematic. In these periods, I find thirteen documented projects for the statues both for the Campanile and for the facade ; that is <<Prophet I>>(Poggi, Nos.222, 224, 227, 228, 230, 231), <<Prophet II>>(Poggi, Nos.222, 232, 238, 243), <<Prophet III>>(Poggi, Nos.221, 223, 224, 225, 226, 241, 242, 244, 247, 250), <<Prophet IV>>(Poggi, Nos.245, 248, 249, 251), <<Prophet V>>(Poggi, Nos.253, 254, 256, 257, 262), <<Prophet VI>>(Poggi, Nos.258, 261, 268, 269, 270), <<Prophet VII>>(Poggi, Nos.260, 263, 272, 273, 279, 280), <<Prophet VIII>>(Poggi, Nos.284, 316, 320, 322, 323, 324 and Catasto of 1427), <<Statue A>>(Poggi, Nos.233, 234, 235, 236, 237, 239, 240), <<Statue B>>(Poggi, Nos.271, 273, 274, 275, 276, 277, 278, 282, 283, 285, 286, 287, 288, 289, 290, 291, 310, 311, 318), <<Statue C>>(Poggi, No.262), <<Statue D>>(Poggi, Nos.259, 264, 266), <<Statue E>>(Poggi, Nos.292, 298, 299, 300, 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306, 308, 312, 313, 314, 315, 317, 319, 320, 321). Based on the analysis of the styles, documents, and sculptural signatures, I identify <<Prophet I>> with the Beardless Prophet, <<Prophet II>> with the Bearded Prophet, <<Prophet III>> with the Nameless Prophet, <<Prophet IV>> with the Abraham and Isaac, <<Statue A>> with the St. John the Baptist, <<Prophet V>> with the Abdia, <<Prophet VII>> with the Jeremiah, <<Prophet VIII>> with the Zuccone. I also identify <<Statue B>> with the Isaiah, <<Statue D>> with the Poggio Bracciolini, <<Statue E>> with the David, all found in the interior of the Cathedral. <<Prophet VI>> is believed not to have been finished.<<Statue C>> is believed to be identical with the doccione sculpture of the Cupola. As for the new identification of <<Statue A>> with the St. John the Baptist, <<Statue D>> with the Poggio Bracciolini (it is believed that the head is not by G. da Poggibonsi but by B. Ciuffagni), see also my documentary and stylistic analysis, The Enigma of the Poggio Bracciolini, in Annual of Miyagi Women's College, 1986.
