Description

This copy of his De simplicitate vitae christiane, printed in Spain, bears a seventeenth-century inscription on its title page warning that the "Auctor iste damnatus" ("the author is damned"). However, citing the Historia pontifical y cathólica by Gonzalo de Illescas (1565-1633), the inscription concedes that this particular treatise by Savonarola, written "prior to his deceptions," is a laudable Christian work.

Creator
