First edition of this sentence-by-sentence commentary on the prayer to the Virgin, composed by Savonarola \u201cin the vernacular at the request of certain devout nuns from Ferrara\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n This type of short work (commentaries on prayers such as the Pater noster<\/i>, Ave Maria<\/i> and the Psalms<\/i>) was initially circulated in Italian, in keeping with Savonarola\u2019s habit of addressing his faithful directly. By 1496, his influence was considerable; regarded as the spiritual guide of Florence, he was still resisting pressure from Rome, which disapproved of his criticisms, whilst the number of printed editions of his sermons and commentaries in the Italian vernacular was increasing.<\/p>\n This publication also bears witness to his influence amongst women\u2019s communities (Dominican or otherwise), which were devoted to penance and Marian devotion. The devout nuns of Ferrara, Savonarola\u2019s birthplace, were receptive to his reformist preaching.<\/p>\n Excommunicated in 1497, he was executed in 1498.<\/p>\n The binding is slightly scuffed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 4to (125 x 187 mm.), 12 unn.ll, a8-b4, 28 lines per page, Roman type, small wood-engraved initials.
