'What is the volume's strength? It is in the meticulous work of mediation that it performs, between a vast literature in European languages to which most readers, and most historians, no longer have access … for those of us who teach European history … the service is enormous.' Miri Rubin, The Times Higher Education Supplement
'Michael Jones and his colleagues deserve congratulation on a triumphant conclusion to their long labours in making fourteenth-century Europe seem even more absorbing than it always and already was.' The Journal of Ecclesiastical History
'… the Press deserves congratulations for allowing such a profusion of references. In all, this is a most welcome book: hugely informative and thought-provoking, it captures many aspects of a remarkable century.' Medium Aevum
