Reviews
[A] beautifully produced and scholarly volume [that] approaches infallibility: not only its recipients but the editors, contributors, and all involved in its preparation and production should feel honoured by it. * THE LIBRARY *
Physically splendid [with] an astonishingly large number of plates. A feast of a festschrift, a banquet of a book that should not be missed. * RICARDIAN *
