Reviews

'It is a very useful book and an important addition to a small Anglophone literature of late medieval religiosity of Strasbourg, but more importantly as a study of commemorative practices in a late medieval cathedral and, as such, a useful comparative case for future studies of a similar kind.' H-France '... this is more than just a microstudy of one particular manuscript. Although the author admits that this is not an exhaustive investigation, she does much more than introduce the Book of Donors to a wider scholarly audience: with her meticulous scrutiny she provides valuable insights into the social history of medieval Strasbourg, the piety of its citizens, and the importance of memoria in medieval society.'
