Review Quotes:
"Samuelson does not let his reader relax: he expects the sort of hermeneutical engagement that the greatest of medieval writers asks of their readers. This work is unfettered in its challenge to its readers and to its subjects. ... This is a monograph to ponder and to masticate, a meditation and a challenge." --Joseph P. Derosier, Speculum
