Reviews
'A welcome addition to a growing constellation of titles in architectural humanities. This coedited volume of studies offers thought-provoking insights into the architectonic significance of Grosseteste‘s intellectual oeuvre in its scholastic mediaeval context. It also advances novel theoretical directives in analyzing the architecture of Lincoln Cathedral under Grosseteste's Bishopric in its English Gothic milieu.' Nader El-Bizri, American University of Beirut, Lebanon '... a piece of very fine scholarship and an accessible interdisciplinary engagement with a variety of ideas and sources. Thanks to its format of well-organized subheadings, and its numerous explanatory diagrams and photographs, the reader can follow a clear path from the esoteric scientific theories of the early thirteenth century to the particular structures they produced. ... Given the fame and proximity of the man and the building, it is only natural that there should be a volume comparing them and measuring their interaction. It is fortunate that such a volume has been composed in such a careful and effective way.' Hortulus
