Reviews

Scholars of early modern Europe will welcome this nuanced and carefully researched account of the Reuchlin affair. Erika Rummel The Journal of Theological Studies Vol 62 Part 2 Oct 2011 David Price's penetrating study is an outstanding book with much to offer historians of humanism and the Reformation. John L. Flood, Times Literary Supplement The great merit of David Prices new study is that it provides more detail and explores the wider context of the Reuchlin affair and its legal and theological implications more thoroughly. Joachim Whaley, Journal of European Studies

This scholarly, detailed and thoughtful study of The Battle of the Books, which reevaluates the primary sources, has been well worth reading. It makes a significant contribution to the history of scholarship and will be of interest to theologians, semiticists and historians of the Renaissance.
