Adams S-504; Bibl. Savonaroliana 94: «Beau volume rare»; Ginori Conti p. 47-50 and no. 11: «This sermon, as it has come down to us, comprises a total of 23 sermons from 1 November to 27 December. These dates [.] tell by themselves the enormous importance of this preaching; if we consider that among them is the expulsion of the Medici, the rebellion of Pisa, the entry of Charles VIII into Florence. (p. 47). "These sermons were held in the cathedral from 1 November 1494 to the whole of Advent, still partly on verses from Genesis, partly, from the XIV sermon, on the prophet Haggai, whose passages lent themselves very well to the political moment". Ridolfi I, 120.
