This ancient document was written by Savonarola in 1495 and appeared not only in Mirabilis liber collection of prophecies in 1522, but was also seen as an important influence over what Nostradamus wrote in his preface to Cesar.
It is used as an extract in the Mirabilis liber, however, the manuscript itself is not a prophecy but a commentary about the abilities and knowledge that prophets obtain. There are several points that the author makes, first that a prophet must not 'give what is holy to the dogs', recording that he has always been wary in revealing the things he is shown.
Next he states that a prophet is simply a person who knows things that every other human being is simply blind or ignorant to, that a prophet has a different kind of perception and a deep understanding of free will.
Furthermore that only God knows truly what will happen in the future, this can be demonstrated in how some prophets have gone out a message for people to turn for their wicked ways to avoid destruction. But when they have turned from the wicked ways, and the destruction avoided, the prophecy will not be fulfilled, but in a sense only God would have known that those circumstances would happen.
Lastly he mentions how prophets are under a beam of supernatural light, and within this light the prophet will understand but two things, the vision and the source of the revelation itself. But this light is so strong upon their soul that it provides the prophet with complete certainty or the vision and the source. Here a prophet is seen as a person without doubts.
