Five hundred years after his death at the stake, Girolamo
Savonarola remains one of the most fascinating figures of the
Italian Renaissance. This volume, which contains an introduction by
historian Alison Brown, is the first comprehensive collection of
Savonarola's works in English. It includes translations of his
sermons and treatises on pastoral ministry, prophecy, politics and
moral reform, as well as the correspondence with Alexander VI that
led to Savonarola's silencing and excommunication. Also included
are first-hand accounts of religio-civic festivities instigated by
Savonarola and of his last moments. This collection demonstrates
the remarkable extent of Savonarola's contributions to the
religious, political and aesthetic debates of the late fifteenth
century. Winner of the 2004 Scaglione Publication Award for a
manuscript in Italian literary studies awarded by the MLA.
