Review
"...significantly advances our understanding of the devotional and political context of premodern Italian cities, in this case Bologna....provides a new and revealing insight into the multiple patterns of spirituality, devotion, charity, and politics to be found in the Italian Renaissance....makes an invaluable contribution for its topic, its scholarship, and its city of interest." Canadian Journal of History
"Terpstra has done an impressive job of tracing the charitable and religious activities of the confraternities in the light of Bologna's continually changing political landscape." Timothy Fehler, Journal of Church and State
"The book reviewed here is a fine example of a wide-ranging and methodologically sophisticated inquiry into the nature and history of confraternities in an important Italian City....certain to interest students of society, religion, and poltics,,,.Terpstra skilfully guides the reader through the intricaies of confraternal forms of worship, ritual, organization, internal administration, finances and sources of wealth. The book's strength is its thorough grounding in primary sources....This book is a remarkable achievement. Impressively well informed about primary and secondary sources, learned, subtle, and thoughful, it weaves institutional, religious, and political history into a whole. It lets evidence speak without overwhelming the reader with tangential details....this is a work which opens fresh dimensions for all those in quest of understanding sixteenth-century Italy." Elisabeth Gleason, Sixteenth Century Journal
"Nicholas Terpstra's study of civic religion in Renaissance Bologna is a significant contribution to the growing body of literature on lay confraternities...." Daniel Bornstein, Speculum
