5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book, but really marked up as seller said it might be,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A History of the Medieval Church: 590-1500 (Paperback)
This is an excellent book, and written without either pretense or the academic arrogance and bloated obfuscation that accompanies so many books today. Good deal used, though *really* marked up, as the seller implied it might be. There are lines and notes on almost every page.
