Editorial Reviews

This is first-rate historical writing, worthy of a place of honor beside Janssen and Pastor.

The American Historical Review, Vol. 63, No. 4, Jul., 1958 - E. Harris Harbison

The writing of an impartial history of the Council of Trent has been awaited for some three hundred years…. It became possible when the Vatican Archives were opened by Pope Leo XIII and required only a scholar at home in the disciplines of history, theology, and canon law and willing to master the sources and to integrate the diverse political and religious factors of the turbulent world of the turn of the Middle Ages into the modern world. Such a scholar is Professor Jedin.
