The Dominican order endeavored in later years to effect his canonization. Luther said that God had al- ready canonized him. Though not a dogmatic reform- er in the sense of Luther, Zwingli, or Calvin, Savonarola yet holds a most honorable place by the side of Wyc- liffe, Huss, and Wessel, as a forerunner of the great Ref- ormation. Monuments were erected to Savonarola in San Marco, Florence, in 1873, and in Ferrara, May 23, 1875. Savonarola left numerous writings. Li his Ti-i- umphiis Cruets (Triojifo della Croce [1597]), he tries to turn the Church away from its modern corruptions to Christ as the centre of all moral power. In his De Di- visione Omnium H^cientiarum he opposes pagan writers and praises the riches of the fathers. Recently (1845) his sermons (Predicke) were printed at Florence ; also his poems {Poesie) in 1862. A portion of his works was published at Lyons, in six volumes, in 1633-40; His Life has been written by Carle (Paris, 1842); by Mad- den (Lond. 1853) ; bv Perrens (Paris, 1853, 2 vols. ; 3d ed. 1859); by Villari "(Florence, 1859-61,2 vols.); of the
latter, a French translation bj' G. Griiyer (1874, 2 vols). His earlier biographers were: Burlamacchi (died 1519), G. F. Picodella Mirandola, and Bartoli. Excellent mod- ern German biographers are: Rudelbach [A. G.], <S'f/yo- narola (Hamb. 1835) ; Meier [F. K.], Savonarola (I?crl. 1836); Hase, AVwe/'ropAc^ew (Leips. 1851).

Savor (usually H'^ll, reach, a smell or scent, as else- where rendered; dafxi], elsewhere "odor;" but a perfume is Chald. nin^3, nichath, incense; aviocia; and a stink is Heb. 113X3). Besides its literal sense, this word is used metaphoricall}' to imply character or reputation, and also the degree of acceptance with which any per- son or thing is received (2 Cor. ii, 14, etc.). In Matt. xvi, 23 ; Mark viii, 33, (ppoviw, to think, is rendered "savor," in the sense of being ^^ororerZ with (or, as the old Saxon use of the verb seems to warrant, in the en- tirely different signification oi being viended ; see Bihle Educator, iv, 208). So in Matt, v, \^, fxwpaivu), to be- come foolish, is applied to the loss of that sharp quality in salt by which it renders other bodies agreeable to the taste. See Salt.
Savory Meat (p'^lZ'Vli'O, matamtmm,. from bSti, to taste. Gen. xxvii, 4 sq. ; and so m^?Lp'2, maiammoih, " dainties," Prov\ xxiii, 3, 6). The patriarchal cookery, like that of the modern Arabs, appears to have been gen- erally very simple, but in dressing a favorite joint the latter frequently use every variety of fruits and vegeta- bles which they can procure. "Among the more com- mon dishes," says ]\Ir. Lane, " are the following : lamb or mutton, cut into small pieces, and stewed with vari- ous vegetables, and sometimes with peaches, apricots, or jujubes and sugar; cucumbers, etc.; small gourds, or the fruit of the black or white egg-plant stuffed with rice and mince-meat, etc. ; vine-leaves, or pieces of lettuce- leaf and cabbage-leaf, enclosing a similar composition; small morsels of lamb, or lamb and mutton, roasted on skewers, and called keebab: fowls simply roasted or boned and stuffed with raisins, pistachio-nuts, crumbled bread, and parsley; and various kinds of pastry and other sweets. The repast is frequently commenced with soup, and is generally ended with boiled rice mixed with a little butter and seasoned with salt and pepper; or after this is served a watermelon or other fruit, or a bowl of sweet drink composed of water with raisins, and some- times other kinds of fruit, boiled in it, and then sugar, and with a little rose-water added to it when cool. The meat, having generally little fat, is cooked with clarified butter, and is so thoroughlj' done that it is easily divided with the fingers" (Mod. Egyptians, i, 214). See Food,
