Reviews

The quality of the historical scholarship is high. Many of the papers offer fascinating insights into archival practices in little-known parts of the world... Above all, Manuscripts and Archives is to be applauded for traversing the divide that so often separates medieval and early-modern historians from their colleagues who study more remote societies. The inclusion of a solitary contribution from a practising archivist is a small but welcome bonus. - Geoffrey Yeo, Library & Information History
