St. Augustine's Bones: A Microhistory (Studies in Print Culture and the History of the Book)
This is a fascinating account of a forgotten episode in European intellectual history and a good exercise in micro-history. It is learned and thorough and should have broad appeal to historians working on religious ideas in Catholic Europe and on historiography as well as those interested in the history of the book.(Joseph M. Levine, Syracuse University)I enjoyed this wide-ranging yet sharply focused study. The writing is fluent and lively. The book should appeal to people interested in the history of saints, the Counter-Reformation, the history of historical thought, and the history of reading.(Peter Burke, author of Popular Culture in Early Modern Europe)
