Reviews
'... its 209 documents clearly fulfil an urgent need to widen access to primary sources for Hussite Bohemia.' History 'Once again Thomas A. Fudge has given us an important contribution to Hussite studies... Here he presents, for the most part for the first time in English, translations from more than 200 documents illustrating a wide range of elements related to the crusade against Hussite heretics in fifteenth-century Bohemia.' Slavonic and East European Review 'There is no doubt that Fudge has done a great service in providing university teachers with an exceptional tool for presenting an important field of crusade studies to their undergraduate students. At the same time, the collection will serve researchers whose linguistic competence does not stretch to languages such as Polish, Czech or Hebrew, of which there are many, to acquire a taste and gain an insight into the wealth of different sources available for the history of the crusades against the Hussites.' Crusades '... the availability of translations of the Czech material will be widely welcomed... Dr Fudge's efforts to select material adequately covering the period, while using diverse sources, have been successful.' Catholic Historical Review
