Book Reviews

AARHMS will consider books for review — written in any language — in any field of medieval Iberian history, and closely associated fields (for instance, archaeology, art and architecture, music, philosophy and religious studies). Authors, and scholarly presses, are encouraged to submit copies, or publication information, to Simon Doubleday, Book Review Editor, (American Academy of Research Historians of Medieval Spain), Department of History, Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY 11550, United States (Simon.R.Doubleday@hofstra.edu). Potential reviewers may also write to him at this postal or email address.

Book reviews are published bi-annually in the AARHMS Newsletter.
