3 Orl. Fur. Canto XLIII. St. 175 sq. ^ Baruffaldi, p. 127.
18 THE HOUSE OF ESTE Florentines, who under Lorenzo the Magnificent had converted their carnivals into orgies, under the influence of the Dominican made a great funeral pyre for the " vanities " which were most in evidence in these carnivals. It is true that this revulsion to a kind of Italian puritanism did not last very long, but there was always beneath the surface a certain depth of religious feeling that under fitting stimulus woul...d be brought into consciousness and into activity. It has been shown by Villari that the popular belief that in the destruction of the vanities many price- less manuscripts of the classics were included is unfounded, and indeed the reverse of the truth, as Savonarola took special pains to preserve these literary treasures.^ Ercole's successor Alfonso I. , the second patron of Ariosto, was accused by the Papal Curia of favouring the poisonous doctrines of the heretic Martin Luther.^ In the age of Ariosto every shade and colour of religion was represented by all sorts of people of importance ; the extreme austerity of self-denial, the most corrupt and greedy formalism, mystical ecstasy, rational doubt, and blank agnosticism.
