Reviews

All Catholics should really read it to understand the foundations of their religion... It is also essential-reading for scholars of most early European literatures, as these papal clashes reverberated in echoes, plagiarisms, and mimicries across the texts published across this content over at least the following century, and very much also into the present day. -Anna Faktorovich, Pennsylvania Literary Journal Papal Bull is an expert guide to the world of printing in Renaissance Rome.[Meserve's] book, based on impeccable research, is as careful and thorough as anything that has been written on Rome in the pre-Reformation period. -National Catholic Register
