Abstract | In studies of preaching in Renaissance Florence there is consensus about the importance of the preaching orders, but little attention has been devoted to the hundreds of preachers who have left traces of their public engagement with the city. When sermons are taken into account it is generally only by way of two unrepresentative figures: San Bernardino of Siena and Savonarola. These papers introduce three preachers, little studied in the historiography. Two preach coram papa: Francesco del Padovano OFM (1430s) and Bartolomeo Rimbertini OP (c. 1460). Simone de Bertis OP preached in response to Pico della Mirandola's teachings on predestination (1480s). |
