"The period of Ostrogothic rule in Italy is a liminal one... Given
this chronological uncertainty along with the ongoing debates over
what precisely the year 476 meant to whom (and when), the editors
have wisely opted for a “long and wide” approach to the topic,
encompassing everything from Odoacer through the Lombard invasion,
thereby including the full sweep of the Ostrogothic Kingdom both
inside and outside of Italy...The current volume is a welcome guide
to Ostrogothic Italy... [it] is free from typographical errors and
enhanced throughout by high quality maps and images, especially in
the chapter on art and architecture. The editors are also to be
commended for producing such a consistent and even-handed volume
despite several intense disagreements that currently divide the
field."
Marion Kruse, in: Medioevo Greco 17 (2017), 450-52.
"The volume more than succeeds in its stated intention of providing
a cutting-edge synthesis of recent scholarship on the Ostrogothic
period in Italy that will be of use to students and scholars
alike."
James Wood, in: Early Medieval Europe 27 (I) (2019), 133-135.
''There is in this work, as one might expect and hope, a lot of
valuable detail, but the analysis of this detail is rendered in
such a way as to furnish scholars with new answers and avenues of
approach for the future. It will remain a fundamental companion for
some years to come. [...] this is a vital work for both seasoned
scholars and students and will provide a useful impetus for future
work and research''.
Cristopher Heath, in Al-Masāq, Journal of Medieval Mediterranean ,
30/2, (2018).
