"B. Ann Tlusty and Mark Häberlein’s monumental volume on late medieval and early modern Augsburg brings the history of this intriguing, and in many ways unusual, imperial city to a wider anglophoneaudience.[...] There is no doubt that this volume must stand as one of the most completeand wide-ranging surveys of any single early moderncity.[...] a supremely impressive achievement,and it will undoubtedly succeed in bringing the intriguing history of Augsburg to a wider audience for a long time to come". Justin Colson, in German Historical Institute London Bulletin, 43 (1), 2021."Le volume est une très bonne introduction à l’histoire et l’historiographie d’Augsbourg au début des Temps modernes. [...] Cette publication permettra aux lectrices et lecteurs non germanophones de découvrir les résultats de recherches sur une ville très importante du Saint Empire et un centre commercial et culturel prémoderne. [...] Pour les lecteurs germanophones, le livre offre surtout un très bon bilan d’ensemble/résumé surles recherches sur Augsbourg au XVIe siècle, à une époque de floraison économique et culturelle et une invitation à découvrir davantage l’histoire fascinante de cette ville."
