The fanatical Christians that burned books were led by Girolamo Savonarola, 1452-1498 who later became Pope.

That's an inauspicious beginning to your post, so I didn't bother reading the rest. No, Savanarola never became Pope--not even close. In fact, he was excommunicated (he called the Church "a whore") and later executed and burned by ecclesiastical and civil authorities in Florence.

Good grief.

Right, he became kind of an unofficial “Doge” of the Florentine republic for a while, not the pope.

Well then that must have been some docudrama I was remembering - you were right. Not reading the rest is just shows your lack of respect. Ashame, because you were so wrong blaming Diocletian when he was just one in a long line of manuscript burners in Antiquity; and letting the Muslims off the hook is just a huge distortion of reality.
