Condition: COME NUOVO. Firenze, Sismel Ediz. Del Galluzzo per la Fondaz.Ezio Franceschini cm.16x22, pp.X,210, brossura. Collana Il Tempo di Savonarola,2. In occasione del sinodo fiorentino del 1516-1517, le autorità si proposero di ottenere una condanna postuma di Girolamo Savonarola, per ridimensionare i molti pseudoprofeti che si ispiravano al retaggio del frate. Il noto umanista veneziano Paolo Giustiniani, all'epoca eremita camaldolese, venne incaricato dell'accusa e produsse numerosi appunti sulla figura e sulla dottrina di Savonarola, fortemente critici nei confronti del domenicano. Il volume ripercorre quella polemica sulla base dei manoscritti inediti di Giustiniani, attualmente custoditi nell'Archivio del Sacro Eremo Tuscolano di Frascati, fornendone ampie trascrizioni. Grande attenzione è dedicata alla ricostruzione del contesto storico e culturale in cui maturò la controversia, anche alla luce della polemica savonaroliana in ambito camaldolese e delle istanze riformatrici che Giustiniani aveva ereditato dal progetto di renovatio Ecclesiae di fra Girolamo.…
