Reviews

The variety of print and manuscript artifacts that Groesen examines, along with the depth and attention to detail he pays to his objects of study, make this book a worthy read for Atlantic and book historians alike. Rachel Stein, Tulane University. In: Journal of Early Modern History, vol. 24. No. 4-5, (September 2020), pp. 445-447. Van Groesen's book represents a valuable contribution to transatlantic history, the history of the book, as well as the history of visual culture. Mirela Altic, Institute of Social Sciences, Zagreb, in: Journal of Jesuit Studies, Vol. 7, No. 4 (2020), pp. 678-681.
