An outstanding book that marks a major step forward in our understanding of the politics of the early sixteenth-century Mediterranean, and will be required reading for anyone looking at Spanish relations with north Africa, Naples and the Ottoman Empire. * Al-Masāq: Journal of the Medieval Mediterranean * Overall, the work represents an outstanding analysis of Ferdinand's policy of expansion in the Mediterranean and enriches the history of European law and rule in the early early modern period... Devereux's analyzes are essential and make an important contribution to seeing the European perspective on expansion in America, the debates about cultural contact and the emergence of the Spanish colonies in a new light. * Francia-Recensio * [E]ssential reading for scholars of early modern Europe, and should generate fruitful discussion among those interested in broader questions of Christian empires and their legal, moral, and intellectual foundations. * Church History *
