Editorial Reviews
Review
The strength of the volume is its repeated making new of old questions and matter, the scratching away of layers to reveal the vividness of an original text. Revue d'Histoire Ecclesiastique Truly a fitting tribute to a gifted teacher and noted scholar. History This collection is a coherent one which makes a quite particular contribution to medieval studies ... Henry Mayr-Harting's influence is present in every part of this collection ... This volume is a fitting tribute to a very distinguished scholar. English Historical Review
Review
`Two articles particularly stand out for me. One is Valerie Flint's analysis of the miracles of St. Thomas Cantilupe ... This is a wonderfully thoughtful, clever and well-argued essay ... D. J. A. Matthew examines Thomas Becket's letters, in a bravura piece of writing and argument. What begins in muted tones, and initially makes one suspect another piece of technical manuscript analysis, turns into a witty, deadpan and extremely clever reassessment of what was actually going on with Becket and Henry II ... All of the articles here are worth reading, though the utility of some will vary according to the reader's interests. Some, however - Flint's and Matthew's in particular - make important contributions to much broader areas of debate.' John H. Arnold, Birkbeck College, Journal of the Society of Archivists
