Review:
"...readers who have not shared first-hand experience at Paul's table can savor the vicarious pleasure from a rich historical offering." - in: The American Historicl Review, Vol. 108, No. 4, 2003 "...a well balanced story, told with a sharp eye..." - in: International Journal of Epidemiology, Vol. 31, No. 6, Dec. 2002, pp 1287-8 "Paul's scholarship is careful and exhaustive; the work will surely remain definitive for our generation, and most likely one or two more." - in: ISIS, Vol. 94, nr.1, March 2003, pp.167-168
