SAVONAROLA’S PROHIBITED SERMONS


39
. Girolamo Savonarola (1452–1498). Prediche sopra Iob del R.P.F. Hieronimo Savonarola da Ferrara, fatte in Firenze l’anno 1494. nuovamente venute in luce. Venice: Niccolo Bascarini, 1545.

In this collection of forty-seven sermons on the Book of Job, a censor marked the beginning of Sermon 14 as “proibita” (“prohibited”) in brown ink, and the bottom right corner of the first leaf of the sermon was torn away. It was later repaired, with the text replaced in manuscript.
