Description
Some of these sketches present figures of importance who are little known, and who might easily be overlooked even by the serious student of the period. Herein lies the book's chief value, plus the over-all picture it gives of the monastic age as represented by diverse saints and scholars. The book is well written, and will best serve as collateral reading to a more thorough study.- Kirkus
