Reviews
The three contributors have given us a modern edition of a Renaissance text well worth reading and studying. It is well executed in every respect, and I heartily congratulate them on a job well done. * Professor Dana Sutton, University of California, Irvine, Bryn Mawr Classical Review *
The editors are to be congratulated without reservation for their cardinal - and beautiful - accomplishment. * Andreas Wagner, European Journal of International Law, vol. 23 no. 3 *
The Wars of the Romans is a wonderful book, fills a long-standing lacuna in the study of Gentili, and should be a foundation text in all studies of this very influential thinker. After all, Francis Bacon and Thomas Hobbes supported Gentili's humanist doctrines, which now have a text that will make his work more accessible to all. * Edmund P. Cueva, The Sixteenth Century Journal *
