Reviews

I find Lledo-Guillem's monograph to be brilliant, innovative, and groundbreaking. ... this book is a must-have to both students and scholars in Medieval and Early Modern political, cultural, and intellectual history, European studies, Romance languages, historical sociolinguistics, and linguistic anthropology. It is a work that will be referenced and cited for years to come. (Josef Fioretta, Scripta, Issue 11, June, 2018)
