Reviews
'[...]deze monumentale , schitterend gedrukte, en erudiete, maar steeds even vlot leesbare [...] economische analyse , die haar kracht ontleent [...] aan de voortdurende verwijzing naar andere domeinen en dimensies van de geloofsbeleving' (Archief voor de geschiedenis van de katholieke kerk in Nederland 24, 1982, pp 143-145) Willem (prof. dr. W.Th.M.) Frijhoff, Emeritus professor of Early Modern History, Faculteit der Letteren, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam - What he has given us is a masterly piece of fine scholarship, describing and clarifying many difficult questions of institutional history with respect to cathedral building in the late Middle Ages. From this point of view, the book will remain a classic. It will be a precious and necessary basis for further research about problems of structural change in the period concerned (Journal of the Society of Architectiural Historians , vol 43, october 1984), Prof.em. Herman Van der Wee, Anthony Van Dyck Chair, U.C.L.A., Los Angeles - [ ...]depuis quelques annees des etudes importantes telles celles de Duby [...] ont demontre a juste titre la necessite de replacer [...] les cahtedrales non seulement dans leur cadre culturel et artistique, mais aussi dans leur contexte social, economique et administratif. L'etude de W.H.Vroom [...] s'insere parfaitement [...] dans le genre de travaux aussi bien pas ses buts que par ses qualites (Annales : economies, societes, civilisations 1986 (jaargang?), Prof.em.dr. Frans Verhaeghe
The book ... is likely to become the standard point of reference for anyone interested in its subject. But it is much more than that, as it gives invaluable insights into the financial realities of some of Europe's major religious institutions, and opens a windo on important aspects of medieval culture. -- P.S.
