Reviews

These are fine essays which celebrate a fine scholar. The conclusion to the volume summarises the work nicely: 'In the chapters of this volume can be seen the diversity and brilliance of Katherine's legacy; it is a truly fitting tribute to her as a scholar and a mentor.' So it is. -- Paul Cavill * TOEBI Newsletter *
