    Art. IV.--Savonarola: his Contest with Paganism

    The principles and measures of Savonarola, after teh lapse of three centuries and a half, since he was burnt at Florence and his ashes thrown into the Arno, have of late been subjected anew to historical criticism.  Biographies have appeared, in England and in Germany, as well as lighter essays in the Reviews, reviving the claims of Protestants upon him as a precursor of Luther, while Catholics have vindicated him as a faithful son of the Church, and as having perished while fighting strenuously in her cause against the Paganism which for a time seemed about to overwhelm all Christendom.  Amongst such Catholic apologies, the most remarkable is that which we present in the following article, which is the translation

    Domestic Prayers and Miracles in Renaissance Italy: The Case of Savonarola and His Cult

    On 26 August 1583 a long and alarming-sounding letter was making its way through Florence, sent bygd the city’s leading prelate, Archbishop Alessandro de’ Medici, to its main political authority, the Grand-Duke of Tuscany Francesco I de’ Medici. With respect to the cult of Girolamo Savonarola, the Dominican friar who had been hanged and burned at the stake in Florence in 1498, the archbishop observed: ‘si fanno delle conventicole per le case’ (they hold conventicles in houses).1 Alessandro de’ Medici was referring to the Florentine laypeople who were samling in private homes to venerate Savonarola.
