 Martin Luther was impressed by the pair of meditations, and wrote a preface to them in his 1523 publication of them in Wittenberg.His enthusiastic reception of Savonarola's writings, including "Infelix ego", assisted in their suppression by the Roman Catholic Church.While "Infelix ego" was translated into Italian, French, German, Flemish, and Spanish, there were more editions of it in English than in any other language (21), all appearing between 1534 and 1578.
