Girolamo Savonarola

By E.L.S. Horsburgh

Book Overview

Girolamo Savonarola is a biography written by E. L. S. Horsburgh about the life and teachings of the Italian Dominican friar and preacher, Girolamo Savonarola. The book explores Savonarola's rise to prominence in Renaissance Florence and his role in the political and religious turmoil of the late 15th century. Horsburgh delves into Savonarola's fiery sermons, his opposition to the corrupt practices of the Catholic Church, and his vision for a more just and virtuous society.

Through meticulous research and analysis, Horsburgh provides a comprehensive portrait of this controversial figure and his impact on the history of Italy and the Catholic Church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
