Prediche Inedite Del B. Giordano da Rivalto, Recitate In Firenze Dal 1302 Al 1305 E Pubbl. Per Cura Di E. Narducci — Giordano This volume presents a scholarly edition of the sermons of Beato Giordano da Rivalto, a Dominican preacher who lectured in Florence at Santa Maria Novella around the early 14th century. The collection emphasizes a method that weaves Scriptural exegesis with patristic authorities and vivid exempla to instruct laypeople and clergy in a life of faith, virtue, and Christian charity. The sermons articulate Scripture as the ultimate authority and frame pastors as channels for its truth, while extolling holy exempla—martyrs, saints, the Virgin Mary, and apostles—as primary models for conduct. Central themes include the primacy of love as the foundational duty, the superiority of virtuous exempla over worldly ones, and the Marian inheritance as a model of obedience and purity. Metaphors such as the ship (navis) of virtue illustrate how humility, charity, penance, and chastity form the planks, with faith and hope as masts and sin as threats to the voyage. The text also explores purification through trials, interior life, social exhortations toward mercy and almsgiving, and a disciplined pursuit of virtue in a Florentine Dominican context.
