We've been working here on an astonishing little collection of the works of

SAVONAROLA —
a dozen titles, all in happy condition, all in incunable and 16th-century editions with one nice trailer from the 17th.  These books have not yet been photographed, nor “done up” for regular website presentation with full-style notes (notes on who Savonarola was, for example!) — but our work is far enough along that we are happy to let the interested review this pdf-format
ADVANCE LIST.     

(As usual, all is offered with pleasure and subject to prior sale.)

Those in the mood for fuller presentations than the advance list represents may like to see, for some of the list's context:

OUR INCUNABULA — click here  
The 16TH Century Books — click here
Rare Catholica — click here
Books in Italian — click here   &/or
The INQUISITION — click here  

— but, remember, the pdf's in-process Savonarola
won't be there yet.
