Notes

a. ^ Theotokópoulos acquired the name "El Greco" in Italy, whaur the custom o identifyin a man bi designatin a kintra or ceety o origin wis a common practice. The curious form o the airticle (El) mey be frae the Venetian dialect or mair likely frae the Spaingie, tho in Spaingie his name would be "[El Griego] error: {{lang}}: text has italic markup (help)".[2] The Cretan master wis generally kent in Italy an Spain as Dominico Greco, an wis cried anly efter his daith El Greco (Spaingie pronunciation: [el greˈko]).[3]

b. ^ Accordin tae a contemporary, El Greco acquired his name, nae anly for his place o origin, but an aa for the sublimity o his airt: "Oot o the great esteem he was held in he wis cried the Greek (il Greco)" (comment o Giulio Cesare Mancini aboot El Greco in his Chronicles, which war written a few years efter El Greco's daith).[4]
