'... an engaging and insightful volume... Although the evidence based on student responses to university life may sometimes be scant and problematic, it is to the contributors' credit to have successfully based their accounts on fresh documentary material and a subtle reading of the student records.' Renaissance Quarterly 'It is richly detailed and the scope of its component methodologies impressive, managing to balance individual case studies with broader contextual discussions... The breadth and scope of the research throughout the work is truly impressive, and it is pleasing to note that the spread of essays is truly pan-European, with no one area especially privileged... this work will doubtless make a strong contribution not only to the increasing historiography of medical education in the early modern period, but to the history of European medicine more generally.' British Journal for the History of Science '[Centres of Medical Excellence]'s real contribution is to revitalize and reorient the existing historiography on medical education by directing more attention to students and by explicating the dynamically interactive quality of learning in the early modern world.' European History Quarterly
