Editorial Reviews

Booknews
This first volume in a projected series that de Certeau (d. 1986) did not live to complete (a second volume is forthcoming in France) is both a fascinating analysis of Christian mysticism during the 16th and 17th centuries and an exemplary application of this influential scholar's conception of a reinvigorated, transdisciplinary historiography. Translated from the original French edition of 1982 (Editions Gallimard). Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
