The burning of the vanities : Savonarola and the Borgia Pope

Seward, Desmond, 1935-2006
Books
This volume tells the story of Girolamo Savonarola, the visionary friar who terrified Renaissance Florence by his uncannily accurate prophesies of doom - especially of a new barbarian invasion from Charles VIII - and denounced Lorenzo the Magnificent as a tyrant and the Borgia Alexander VI as an unworthy pope.
