Savonarola’s Middlemen: The Buonomini di San Martino in the Florentine Religious Revival of the 1490s
In his program for reforming Florence Dominican friar Girolamo Savonarola not only staged his famous “Bonfires of the Vanities,” but also directed his congregations to increase their alms giving, specifically for the “shamefaced poor,” respectable families in need but ashamed to beg.

Medieval English Martinmesse: The Archaeology of a Forgotten Festival
Beginning with Elizabethan literary references to a carnivalesque celebration of Martinmas, the present article surveys the St Martin cult in England in order to isolate features of the medieval celebration of the Christian feast and determine the feast's relationship to seasonal activities of early November. Martinmas is seen as both the last harvest festival and a curtain raiser for the extended winter revelling season, in effect a "Carnival" i…
