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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Latin writings brought together in this volume consist of various letters, a formal \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eapologia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and his \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eDialogue on the Truth of Prophecy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, all written in the last year of his life.
