Reviews

A truly remarkable achievement, this pioneering book locates Ramism squarely within a tradition both far longer and far broader than anything proposed before, revealing for the first time the profound debt of the leading encyclopaedists, pansophists, and universal reformers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries to their medieval Franciscan predecessors. * Howard Hotson, University of Oxford * This compelling study highlights the importance of Franciscan exemplarism for the Ramist remodelling of the arts and sciences. Based on meticulous analyses of primary texts, it poses a real challenge to all those who charge Ramism, and more generally the Reformed tradition, with the disintegration of the medieval worldview. * Ueli Zahnd, University of Geneva *
