.. meticulous and careful scholarship ... This edition ... not only illuminates the role of music within the Devotio Moderna, but also makes an important contribution to the understanding of late medieval hymnody, and at the same time illuminates facets of the sixteenth-century movements of renaissance and reform. It is difficult to overestimate the importance of this edition and study. Robin A. Leaver, Yale University and Queen's University, Belfast. In: Church History and Religious Culture, Vol. 89, No. 4 (2009), pp. 572-574.
