“Intoxicating.... Cahill's command of rich historical detail makes
medieval cities and their colorful characters come to
alive.” —The Los Angeles Times

that foreshadows the coming Renaissance.... [He] deftly focuses on
key locations and major figures that form the foundations of
Renaissance and Modern thought in feminism, science, and
art.” —Rocky Mountain News

readers to the study of the past, describing the development and
definition of the medieval worldview, as well as he has ever
done.” —New York Daily News
