'This volume of documents represents an excellent handbook for the student interested in exploring and understanding the Wars of Religion, either as part of a survey course or at a more specialist level. As such, it also provides a welcome relief to those trying to teach the wars who, to date, have been hampered by the lack of sources available in English.' - Penny Roberts, French History
