Editorial Reviews

Review

`what differentiates this version from the previous one is the addition of fifty pages of notes at the end of the second volume ... Some of these notes manage admirably to encapsulate in a sentence or two the essence of articles and books that appeared in the interval between the two editions as well as to offer a better context within which to view statements made by Parker. All this will ensure that the seventeenth-century scholar will continue to utilize this admirable erudite resource well into the new millennium.' M. Feingold, Journal of Religious History, Vol. 24
