After a period when he held close to absolute power in the great Renaissance republic, Savonarola was excommunicated by the Borgia pope, Alexander VI, in 1497 and, after a further year of struggle, was hanged and burned in Florence's Piazza della Signoria in 1498.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Latin writings brought together in this volume consist of various letters, a formal \u003ci\u003eapologia\u003c\/i\u003e, and his \u003ci\u003eDialogue on the Truth of Prophecy\u003c\/i\u003e, all written in the last year of his life.
