medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Actually, Sherry L. Reames *is* best qualified to pronounce such a book as "major" and "authoritative" - just as Richard W. Pfaff is certainly the best qualified to write it. One rather hopes that Profesor Reames has had a chance to read (and comment on) the book in draft or proof - it seems to have been in preparation for long enough (it has been described as "publication imminent" for over two years to my certain knowledge.)
I am mildly apprehensive, looking at the list of contents, that there may be an over-emphasis on the Sarum Use - although that Use certainly needs to be correctly placed in its proper contxt (whatever that turns out to be...)
