Rezensionen

'This is both a well-considered and well-researched biography, an excellent read both as an appraisal of its important and pivotal subject, and also as another light shining on the world of the Catholic Reformation.' Sixteenth Century Journal 'Robinson's work is an important contribution to early modern Italian religious history.' Renaissance Quarterly '... an interesting new synthesis that targets the problem of how to reconcile the two images of Morone's life and what it reveals about the state of the Church during this crucial phase in its history.' Catholic Historical Review
