Revue de presse

It represents by far the most detailed account that one can find in one place of the post-medieval holdings in the archives ... and it undoubtedly a useful work of reference. (Journal of Ecclesiastical History)

The Vatican Archives represent a resource of incomparable richness for the history of the papacy, of the countries with which the papacy has been in contact, and of the Roman Catholic Church generally. The appearance of a substantial new guide aiming to give a comprehensive account of the Vatican Archives as well as of papal archives housed outside the Vatican City is therefore a major event. (Journal of Ecclesiastical History)
