Review # 1 was written on 2018-02-22 00:00:00 Steven Coleman Despite Levi's impressively broad learning and occasional insights, this work is so poorly written, so methodologically suspect, and so clearly forced into an insufficiently grounded meta-narrative that it is not very useful for scholars and impenetrable to non-specialists. For a scholarly review that echoes my own thoughts, see Robin B. Barnes (2002) Renaissance and Reformation: The Intellectual Genesis, History: Reviews of New Books, 31:1, 3-4, DOI: 10.1080/03612750209602048

Review # 2 was written on 2011-01-08 00:00:00 Roger MARTIN to be clear i did not actually finish this and am unlikely to read it as a book, because when the back cover says "this is intended primarily as a student textbook" it's not kidding. that said it's a valuable reference especially as regards the diversity of medieval religious experience even within ~western catholicism~ just uh, i am not going to read this all at once
