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.

This book is a joke. It's not a joke about Jesus and nothing derogatory is printed about him. In fact the front and back covers are very complimentary toward Jesus. The front cover says Remember Jesus Loves you and when you open the book the first page jumps out at you. It says in big, bold type "Everyone else thinks you're a cunt." The rest of the pages are intentionally left blank. You can order this book from Amazon and have it delivered to the person the joke is aimed at. It's real fun watching someone unwrap and open this book when you hand it to them as a gift. It's guaranteed to shock and make people laugh.
