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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525159092512,"sku":"NEW0300111932","price":91.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51ozUQsw3nL_7d42ca22-e89d-4b60-bec4-f38651eb1282.jpg?v=1777142480","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/savonarola-the-rise-and-fall-of-a-renaissance-prophet-0300111932","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
