  Book Description
  Publication Date: November 22,
2011
  Girolamo Savonarola, the fifteenth-century doom-saying friar, embraced the revolution of the
Florentine republic and prophesied that it would become the center of a New Age of Christian renewal and world
domination. 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.
  
  Reviews
  “[A] luminous and learned biography .
. . subtle, cogent . . . immensely compelling.”—Anthony Grafton, Lapham’s
Quarterly
  
  “A masterpiece of the genre. Donald Weinstein has succeeded in presenting a
wholly coherent, finely balanced and deeply moving analysis of Savonarola, the man, the preacher, the reformer and the
political leader. Weinstein's understanding and presentation of the complex political, social and religious contexts in
which Savonarola operated are outstanding and unmatched by any other biographer.”—Lorenzo Polizzotto, The University of Western Australia
  
 
"Eminently readable, neither hagiographical nor overcritical, the biography, which will surely become the definitive
account of this Renaissance prophet, leads us through the drama of Savonarola's life, allowing the man himself to emerge
from generously-quoted sermons, letters and chronicles, as well as from the author's own deeply-researched and judicious
narrative."—Alison Brown, author of The Return of Lucretius to Renaissance
Florence
  
  “The genius of Renaissance history lies in its capacity to remain forever
contemporary. Donald Weinstein's smooth biography brilliantly reveals Savonarola as a man for our unstable and
risk-riven times, dangerously mixing charismatic leadership, governance and fundamentalist religion.”—Kate Lowe, Queen Mary University of London
  
  “Since his early
research some forty years ago in the history of Renaissance Florence, Donald Weinstein has concentrated on that
city’s religious life. His new biography of Girolamo Savonarola is a testimonial to his vast erudition, and to
his penetrating insights into that complex world. Weinstein focuses on the Dominican friar’s role as a prophet,
and his vision of Florence as the new Jerusalem. This dramatic account of the rise and fall of a major historical figure
is an important contribution to the history of Florence during one of its most traumatic phases.”—Gene Brucker, Professor Emeritus, University of California Berkeley
  
  “…this new biography represents the definitive English-language account of its subject. It offers the
kind of exhaustive yet balanced assessment of the controversial friar’s life that can only be produced by an
expert writing at the culmination of his academic career.”—Jerry Brotton,
Literary Review
  
  “Weinstein presents a reasoned and fair view of his subject as friar,
preacher, prophet and politician.”—Grahame Lock, The Tablet 
 

  “Weinstein’s scrupulously researched finely balanced life is both a complex portrait of a
fascinating figure and of a uniquely and creative time.” –Michael Kerrigan, The
Scotsman
  
  Won Honorable Mention for the 2011-2012 Los Angeles
Book Festival in the Biography/Autobiography category
  
  “An excellent narrative study,
very well written and judicious. . . . Highly recommended.”—P. Grendler,
Choice
  
  “This impeccable book is the culmination of Donald Weinstein’s lifelong
study of the Italian Renaissance and is a must-read for anyone interested in Savonarola. With customary learning,
insight and lucid prose, Weinstein provides an exceptionally vivid portrait of one of the most controversial and
fascinating figures of early modern Italy.”—Stefano Dall’Aglio,
University of Leeds
  
  “Commendable . . . eloquently written and universally approachable .
. . appealing to both general and specialist readers alike.”—Hasan Niyazi, Three
Pipe Problem 
  
  “Excellent . . . a nuanced and engaging study of a man too often
caricatured . . . [a] fine piece of scholarship.”—Ryan Sayre Patrico, First
Things
  
  “A moving and magisterial biography . . . a powerful narrative . . . [a] splendid
book . . . at once empathetic and discerning.”—John M. Najemy, Catholic
Historical Review
  
  “Elegantly written . . . remarkable . . . Weinstein understands both
the man and prophet like no other . . . an impeccable account." —Alessio Assonitis,
Sixteenth Century Journal
  
  “Insightful . . . a balanced and often intriguing portrait of
a gifted but troubled soul.” —Robert E. Scully, S.J., America
