Reviews
"Écrit d’une plume aisée, bien construit et enrichi de quelques illustrations tirées des marges de l’Urgichtbuch de la ville, le livre de J.P.C. offre pour la première fois une vision approfondie de la pratique du bannissement dans l’une des plus importantes communautés urbaines du Saint-Empire. [...] Un livre utile donc, car il comble partiellement une lacune criante, mais l’enquête reste ouverte." Falk Bretschneider, Revue de l'Institut Français d'Histoire en Allemagne, 3 (2011) pp. 389-392.
"Coy is to be commneded for a volume that is concise and focused, carefully reasoned and rich with examples. Indeed, this volume should encourage wider study of banishment across early modern Europe and spur further research on this crucial, common, and often overlooked feature of urban life."
J. Jeffery Tyler, Renaissance Quarterly, 62 (2009) 974–975.
"Within its rather strict limits, this is a solid and imaginative study of a sixteenth-century Imperial city, one that sets down conclusions that will prompt comparison with other towns as future scholars look to see how widely applicable Coy's conclusions may be"
H.C. Erik Midelfort, The Journal of Central European History, 43 (2010) 346-348.
