It also offers new views on intellectual history, medieval scholasticism, the history of early modern theology, and the history of law, tout court.' Wim Decock, Journal of the History of International Law / Revue d'histoire du droit international (JHIL) '… intellectual historians and many other audiences too will happily and gratefully scavenge on its rich argument, wealth of scholarship and detail.' Koen Stapelbroek, Journal of the History of International Law / Revue d'histoire du droit international (JHIL) '… a veritable trove of intellectual pleasure, full of ideas and written in a remarkably accessible style.'
