The Age of Mercy. Savonarola and Luther
DOI:

In this paper I reconstruct the similarities, and the complex relationship between Martin Luther and Girolamo Savonarola, avoiding the trap of Savonarola as forerunner of the Protestant Reformation, and individuating, in a period I call «the age of Mercy» (between the end of the Fifteenth century and the first half of the Sixteenth), the birth of a new theological and religious paradigm common to both these figures.
