Recenzii

"Authorship and Publicity Before Print is tightly argued, and based on prodigious research, elegantly and unobtrusively presented."-TLS "Authorship and Publicity Before Print is a nuanced and insightful analysis of Gerson that investigates the intersection of academia and pre-Gutenberg publishing... Ultimately, Hobbins demonstrates that Gerson was able to harness the communication network of his day to disseminate his work to a wider manuscript market than was previously believed possible."-Sixteenth Century Journal "Every once in a while, a work of scholarship appears that is simply breathtaking. It is the type of investigation that forces the reader to pause and reflect deeply, often multiple times, over what he or she has just finished reading. It encourages him or her to savor the thesis put forward by the author, to admire how deftly the author weaves said thesis throughout the entirety of the work, and to marvel at the author's masterful marshalling of the evidence... Daniel Hobbins' monograph, Authorship and Publicity Before Print: Jean Gerson and the Transformation of Late Medieval Learning, is a prime example of just this type of scholarship."-Medieval Review "One of the most important contributions to late medieval thought and culture that has been written in decades."-William J. Courtenay, University of Wisconsin
