Revue de presse

"D.F.S. Thomson, with his customary skill as a translator of Latin, catches the spirit and tone, and even renders the word play, of Sanches superbly. Elaine Limbrick, moreover, in her excellent introduction, places Sanches and his significance for the history of Renaissance and early modern philosophy in its proper perspective." 17th Century News
