About this title

Review:

"These essays move in exemplary fashion from specific bibliographic discoveries to general considerations of great importance for understanding the comparative history of the European Reformation. [...] On putting down this volume, one understands better than ever before why the English Reformation was such a slow reformation from above". Philip Benedict, University of Geneva. In: The English Historical Review CXXV (2010), pp. 421-423.

"This collection is a celebration of the value of direct examination of the sources. [...] The ecclesiastical historian [...] will benefit greatly from reading this". Cristina Dondi, University of Oxford. In: Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 60, Issue 4 (2009)
