‘The authors who have contributed to this volume must be
particularly praised for the clarity and lucidity with which they
present some often very obscure and esoteric topics. A tome of
nearly six hundred pages can appear a daunting prospect, but the
contributors make reading it nothing less than an intellectually
stimulating pleasure that I hope many more scholars will
experience.’
Richard Broom, University of Leeds, Early Medieval Europe 2018
'The editors and contributors to this volume should be applauded
for gathering such a timely collection of essays to honor Mayke de
Jong's important contributions to the field. Readers interested in
familiarizing themselves with some of the current questions and
approaches in this period's religious and political history should
find their way to this Festschrift.?'
The Medieval Review
'Diverse and exceptionally coherent.'
