Trade Review
"Jean Bodin (1529/30-1596) is an enigmatic, prolific writer of works in both Latin and in French. His Universae naturae theatrum [on early modern science] while influential in the seventeenth century, is rarely read today... [Ann Blair corrects this in her] in-depth study of methods, modes of argument, metaphorical imagery, philosophy, theology, science, and reader response to Bodin's 633-page Latin work on natural philosophy. Hers is an exemplary model of a thorough and masterful, multi-faceted history of one book."--Seventeenth-Century News
