Reviews

""This outstanding volume contains twelve substantial chapters by leading scholars on the growth and life of the medieval English and Scottish Dominican Provinces in the British Isles [...] The work is particularly to be commended for not limiting itself to England but in covering the entirety of the province. Each chapter is meticulously researched, generally up-to-date, and has its own bibliography at the end [...] an essential reference work for English mendicant studies and a worthy marker of the Province’s eight hundredth anniversary of foundation."" Richard Finn OP, in New Blackfriars, 102-1100
