'It is thus fitting that Brundage's career to date should be celebrated in this Festschrift, whose editors have assembled a magnificent team of top scholars... The reader wishing to broaden her knowledge of any of the topics - and to read recent work by the top scholars in the field - will find it worthwhile to spend time with this volume. The authors present the complex field of medieval canon law in a way that is accessible to a general audience, a fitting tribute to a scholar who has tried to make medieval canon law accessible to historians with little background in law, lawyers with little background in history, and even to undergraduates.' The Medieval Review 'What unites them all is the strength of the meticulous attention to sources by all the authors... There is, in short, something of interest in this volume for a wide variety of medieval historians and some early modernists as well, and not just those concerned with canon law or even law more generally. Brundage’s own work had an impact over that broad a spectrum of fields, so in that sense too this volume is an apt homage to him.' European History Quarterly
