Reviews

'Rarely is an edited volume so consistent in the tenor and quality of the scholarship. The only criticism of the volume is that the essays leave the reader thirsty for more. Perhaps this suggests that the interest in Franciscan art is so keen, it might be worthy of a second volume.' Michelle Erhardt, The Medieval Review, 2005
