The Life And Times Of Girolamo Savonarola V1 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162777795)

The Life and Times of Girolamo Savonarola V1 is a comprehensive biography written by Pasquale Villari. The book chronicles the life of Girolamo Savonarola, an Italian Dominican friar and preacher who lived during the late 15th century. Savonarola was known for his fiery sermons, which often criticized the corruption of the Catholic Church and the ruling Medici family in Florence. The book explores Savonarola's early life, his rise to prominence as a preacher, his clashes with the Church and the Medici family, and his eventual downfall and execution. Villari provides a detailed account of the political and religious climate of Florence during Savonarola's time, as well as the cultural and intellectual movements that shaped his ideas. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Renaissance, the Catholic Church, and the political and social upheavals of 15th century Italy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
