Reviews

" His Adventures : indeed, Oppenheimer's translation, pleasantly illuminated with eighty-seven sixteenth-century woodcuts, is extremely readable. No doubt, this accesibility will enable a wide public, both academic and other, to encounter once more the 'original' Schwank in all his crude and bawdy tomfoolery." -- Ingrid De Smet, University of Warwick, Renaissance Journal
