Reviews
'It’s hard to imagine that there is much more to say about the Dominicans in pre-Reformation Scottish towns than Janet Foggie has done in this book...Foggie's great contribution is her attention to he minutiae of the order's financial affairs and her conclusion that, unlike the Observant Franciscans, the Dominicans operated aggressively within the money economy of the early modern town.'

'...a study both well-planned and well-executed.'
