Reviews
A grand and important book not only for those bitten by medieval studies but for all interested in Western civilization's transition from medieval to modern. -American Historical Review A wonderfully rich and rewarding book... This work will, unquestionably, remain the standard work for years to come. -Speculum This is a painstakingly detailed narrative into which analysis is seamlessly woven... A major contribution on several fronts. -Church History This will be the definitive study of a noteworthy religious movement of the later Middle Ages. Van Engen has mined the libraries and archives with extraordinary thoroughness and has found a wealth of new knowledge. -Robert E. Lerner, Northwestern University
