The _Biographia Latina_ of Savonarola follows Cinozzi’s account, citing Fra Silvestro and Fra Domenico, an ardent adherent of Savonarola, as authorities. The same story, with additions, is given by the biographers of Savonarola, Pico della Mirandola (a nephew of Lorenzo’s friend) and Burlamacchi. “There is,” says Creighton, “no evidence that Pico, the earliest of them, had written his book before 1520; whether Burlamacchi wrote independently or merely re-edited Pico is a question open to discussion.” [405] Dei gives wrong dates. Lorenzo was born on January 1, 1449 (1450). [406] _Archivio Storico Italiano_, Serie v. Tomo iv., Dispensa 5 e 6 del 1889, p. 258.
