"“To call this remarkable book a dictionary attests to the authors’ humility. … the book is an unparalleled guide to the best and most reliable sources and authorities on the many subjects it covers. … As such, it is a book that all those interested in Jewish history and in medieval English history will treasure and want to own.” (Robert C. Stacey, Jewish Historical Studies, Vol. 48 (1), 2017) ""The authors have produced an excellent reference tool which complements The Palgrave Dictionary of Anglo-Jewish History and enhances our sources of information on medieval English history. I would highly recommend this work for all university and research libraries with an interest in history and religion."" - Geography, Biography and History"
