Girolamo Savonarola in the eyes of Maximus the GreekThe article concerns the first Slavonic document composed in the Muscovite State about the life of Girolamo Savonarola (1452-1498). The document, a literary account belonging to the first half of the sixteenth century, was written by Maximus the Greek, a Byzantine émigré who spent his youth in Italy. It is included in the Povest' strašna i dostopamjatna i o soveršennom inočeskom žitel'stve (Terrible and Memorable Story and about the Perfect Monastic Lifestyle), where it represents the second narrative, which concerns Florence (the first narrative being about the Kingdom of France). The present article describes the content of the document and compares it with Italian (Latin and vernacular) sources. In doing so, the author's aim is to verify its reliability - trying to establish which contents are due to the direct memory of the author and which to indirect sources - so as to define better the period of Maximus the Greek's stay in Florence.
