Looking carefully at the notes for both these recent secondary sources that I've been using on Dominican friar Savonarola, I wanted a more direct comparison. To be fair, Martines' narrative carries with it an interior aspect, telling the story in a way that nearly mimics what must have been their rather feverish times. On the other hand, Weinstein delivers a different viewpoint that seems more externally driven, bringing forth details of the scene to show additional contexts. One is not better than the other, though I have included fewer notes and sources here from Martines' book than I have from Weinstein's. Martines leaves the last half of the book to detail the political and the lead up to Savonarola's last eighteen months. Weinstein spends more time with the friar's early life and discussing Humanism and education in Savonarola's world. But both authors have done all the work here. These following bits are just a mere index meant to help me later track down parts of primary source materials.
