Florence and the Idea of Jerusalem
Edited by Timothy Verdon, Giovanni Serafini
This collection of essays traces the development of this ‘Idea of Jerusalem’ from the Divine Comedy and medieval Holy Land pilgrimages through the 1439 Council of Florence, Savonarola’s end of the 15th-century preaching, and the astonishing project of Grand Duke Ferdinand I to transfer the Holy Sepulcher from Jerusalem to Florence.
