Recenzii
Praise for the German edition:
“Beyond the claim of being an “intellectual biography,” the book offers rich and detailed insights into sixteenth-century Zurich, a city Gessner only left for a few years when he was a student. One appreciates not only Leu’s local knowledge and embedding in today’s intellectual discourse of the city, but also his extensive familiarity with Zurich’s treasure of old books published in the time of Gessner.”
Tilmann Walter, University of Würzburg. In: Gesnerus, Vol. 74, No. 1 (2017), pp. 141–143.
“With his comprehensive description of the diverse interests and activities of the Zurich scholar Conrad Gessner, Urs B. Leu has succeeded in writing an appealing biography. […] The book is a very valuable contribution to the (re)discovery of an important Swiss scholar of the European Renaissance, and invites readers to discover the figure of Conrad Gessner.”
Simona Boscani Leoni, University of Bern. In: H-Soz-Kult, 13.04.2017.
