Girolamo Savonarola (religious and political reformer)?
You got it, Raggedy!
Girolamo Savonarola, a 15th-century Dominican friar in Florence who preached sermons telling the people of Florence that they had become too worldly and materialistic, and urging them to burn their luxurious clothes, jewelry, paintings, etc., in what became known as the "bonfire of the vanities."
That is very interesting about the book title, Bree. I had no inkling. Such a good book - such a terrible movie.

Goodnight all.
