Reviews

In this clear and insightful new study Jetze Touber brings together Gallonio's disparate (manuscript and in print) writings in the field of hagiography. This corpus, written in both Latin and Italian, was aimed at a wide public and Touber does a marvelous job, showing how Italian and Latin versions were written with different audiences in mind. Jan Machielsen, Oxford. In: The Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 66, No. 2 (April 2015), p. 437.
