that fascinated the political theorist Niccolo Machiavelli. Savonarola's followers--called the Piagnoni first by their
enemies and later, proudly, by themselves--remained politically active after his execution, through the Republic that
lasted until 1513, when the first Medici pope, Leo X, used the considerable influence of this position to help his
family and their allies to return to Florence, and again after the sack of Rome in 1527, which occurred during the
pontificate of another Medici, Clement VII. The Piagnoni continued to be active even after the Medici, first
Alessandro and then Cosimo I, openly turned Florence onto the path of absolutism [unlimited, centralized authority
and absolute sovereignty] by accepting the [nobility] title of Duke. ... Lorenzo's manipulation of the Church comes
into play in the next phase of the beffa. ... At this point, Grazzini emphasizes not only that many friars and priests
were ignorant, but, more importantly, that the kind of people Lorenzo elevated to positions of power in the
Florentine church hierarchy were either superstitious [occult] or corrupt, criticisms that Savonarola also often made
of the Medici.

Kabbalah - The beginning of Christian Kabbalah is to be found in the
teachings of the Catalan philosopher and mystic, Raymon Lull - Lull
had the idea of unifying all three religions [Judaism, Christianity,
Islam] by developing a philosophy incoporating elements common to
all - the way he intended to [unite] convert was through rational and
mystical doctrine - Renaissance Christian Kabbalah was derived from
a number of sources - Firstly, the christological [christ doctrine]
speculations of a number of Jewish converts from the late 13th to the
late fifteenth centuries - Secondly, the philosophical Christian and
Renaissance speculation concerning the Kabbalah that developed
around the Platonic Acadamy *founded by the **Medici family in
Florence
Lull based his Art on the importance which Christian, Moslem [Islam], and Jew each attached to the Divine Names
or Attributes, or, as he called them, Dignities. Lull mentioned nine Dignities (or Dignitaries): Bonitas (Goodness),
Magnitudo (Greatness), Eternitas (Eternity), Potestas (Power), Sapientia (Wisdom), Voluntas (Will), Virtus (Virtue),
Veritas (Truth), and Gloria (Glory). These are shown in the follwing diagram. ... In addition we also find the
incorporation of the four elements [earth, water, air and fire] and the qualities, the seven planets and twelves
[astrological] signs, medicine, alchemy, geometry, a letter notation, and so on. There is an elaborate system of
correspondences, in that the nine Dignitaries have their correspondences in the celestial sphere, the human level,
and the animal, plant, and material creation. In all this we see the influence, not only of Kabbalah, but also of
Aristotlean categories, Augustinian Platonism (nearly all the Lullian Dignities can be found listed as Augustine's
Divine Attributes), and the celestial hierarchies of angels of the Christian Neoplatonist Dionysius. [Frances A.
