Trade Review
"This book... has been forty years in the making, and given its richness, the reader can be grateful for those decades of research." - Review of Metaphysics "James Brundage tells us a new law book cost on average about thirty-five Bolognese pounds, more than some houses. Today's students, scholars, and lawyers will welcome this very learned and much more affordable volume." - John Hudson, Times Literary Supplement"
