Reviews
"The essays are in-depth, up to sixty pages long, frequently with extensive footnotes and references, which allow for considerable analysis as well as the presentation of illuminating examples. Both primary and secondary sources are utilised, and methodological questions are not ignored. […] The contributors do not always agree with all the conclusions drawn by their colleagues in the project, but far from detracting from the value of this Companion, this “discordant harmony” adds to the subtlety and depth of the book as a whole."
Paul Shore, Brandon University. In: Journal of Religious History, Vol. 36, No. 1 (March 2012), pp. 133-134.
"This volume is a highly valuable mapping of a poorly known movement in religious history that should be of major interest to both historians and theologians."
Peter Steinfels, Fordham University, New York. In: Theological Studies (2012), pp. 222-224.
"This is a distinguished collection of essays, which can claim to “serve as a recovery of a forgotten episode” (p. 166), of a time when the Catholic Church was in many respects a broader church than it was to become in the nineteenth century after it was confronted by revolution."
Derek Beales, Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge. In: The Catholic Historical Review, Vol. 97, No. 4 (October 2011), pp. 822-824.
“Co-edited by Ulrich L. Lehner and Michael Printy, A Companion to the Catholic Enlightenment in Europe includes substantial contributions from nine distinguished international scholars. The collection draws on a vast range of primary sources and synthesizes several decades' worth of scholarship in multiple languages.”
Brad S. Gregory, University of Notre Dame. In: The Thomist, Vol. 75 (2011), pp. 461-75.
"Den beiden Hg.n ist es [...] gelungen, einen in zweifacher Hinsicht bemerkenswerten „Begleiter“ ins katholische 18. Jh. vorzulegen: Er bietet viel solide Information und Überblicke für Leser, die handbuchartiges Wissen suchen, dazu reichhaltige Literaturverweise zur weiteren Lektüre. Er spiegelt damit aber auch den Stand und die Vorläufigkeit der Forschung und wird so für alle, die sich forschend mit der Epoche befassen, zu einem ergiebigen Repertorium von Informationen und neuen Fragestellungen."
“[…] le livre propose des synthèses utiles sur un sujet largement méconnu aussi bien par les historiens des Lumières que par ceux du catholicisme” […] “un excellent instrument de travail.”
