Recenzii
"Law opens this tantalizing study with some keen readings of this abstrusely self-deprecating author...Law's work is sure to attract controversial attention. More so perhaps, it will inspire renewed efforts to play out the puzzles in this fantastical wit. Highly recommended for those who are serious esotericists." Critical Notice
"A highly erudite examination of the cultural significance of grammatica....Readers will find the work stimulating, challenging, and informative on virtually every page." --Religious Studies Review
"A highly erudite examination of the cultural significance of grammatica, the fundamental discipline concerned with literacy, language, interpretation, and literature in antiquity and the medieval world." Religious Studies Review
"There are important ideas in this book. Law's method rests on a sound philological basis but is also innovative.... This is a book for those who seek to understand the intellectual climate of the seventh century...." Denis Brearley, Speculum
