This new biography, the culmination of many decades of study, presents an original interpretation of Savonarola's prophetic career and a highly nuanced assessment of his vision and motivations.Weinstein sorts out the multiple strands that connect Savonarola to his time and place, following him from his youthful rejection of a world he regarded as corrupt, to his engagement with that world to save it from itself, to his shattering confession-an admission that he had invented his prophesies and faked his visions. Was his confession sincere? A forgery circulated by his inquisitors? Or an attempt to escape bone-breaking torture? Weinstein offers a highly innovative analysis of the testimony to provide the first truly satisfying account of Savonarola and his fate as a failed prophet. 606 $aReformers$zItaly$zFlorence$vBiography 607 $aFlorence (Italy)$vBiography 607 $aFlorence (Italy)$xPolitics and government$y1421-1737 607 $aFlorence (Italy)$xChurch history 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aReformers 676 $a282.092 676 $aB 700 $aWeinstein$b Donald$f1926-$0192753 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457511603321 996 $aSavonarola$915193 997 $aUNINA
