“Schoolman has performed an extremely useful service, offering an object lesson in how to use hagiography as a source for cultural history.” (Mark Humphries, Early Medieval Europe, Vol. 27 (3), 2019)“Readers interested in the cult of Saint Barbatianus will find here a thorough examination of the medieval hagiography dedicated to him. It undoubtedly represents a valuable contribution both to the assessment of the importance of the city of Ravenna under Ottonian rule and to the understanding of the ambitions of its elites amplified by their proximity to the imperial court.” (Giorgia Vocino, Speculum, Vol. 94 (3), July, 2019)
