Description
'Girolamo Savonarola' by E. L. S. (Edward Lee Stuart) provides a detailed examination of Savonarola's life and his impact on Renaissance Florence. It explores his early writings, preaching at S. Marco, political involvement with figures like Lorenzo de' Medici and Charles VIII, defiance against Papal authority, excommunication, trial, and execution. The book discusses his views on art, support for moral and spiritual reform, and role in the revival of learning. Despite being seen as a precursor to the Reformation, it argues that Savonarola remained loyal to Catholic doctrine. His complex relationship with the Church, defiance against corruption, and tragic end offer insight into the political and religious turmoil of his era.
