Reviews
In all, this book is a valuable and thought-provoking resource for scholars of medieval and Reformation history. It showcases diverse medieval verdicts on some fascinating moral cases that should also be of current interest for philosophers or theologians concerned with deceptive speech, moral dilemmas, or pastoral counsel... And the appendices include brief translations from manuscript of some seminal texts that are a welcome addition to the literature. * Matthew Kent Siebert, Belmont Abbey College, Speculum * This fine critical edition of an important text, elegantly translated and meticulously annotated by Lena Wahlgren-Smith, is a most welcome addition to the Oxford Medieval Texts series. * Julian Haseldine, University of Hull, English Historical Review * In short, what we have here is an excellent study of a fascinating and complex character - a grey sheep, if not an entirely black one - and a bilingual edition which is everything a bilingual edition should be. Wahlgren-Smith can only be congratulated and thanked for making this wealth of material available to us. * David N. Bell, Journal of Ecclesiastical History *
