Reviews

Jon Balserak:
‘The Mystical Science of Soul is a fascinating piece of research. It focuses on a mystical method of recollection and the genre of literature associated with it…this volume should be welcomed by medievalists and early modernists, students of the Renaissance, historians of science, mysticism, and medicine, as well as theologians and church historians.’
