"B. Ann Tlusty and Mark Häberlein’s monumental volume on late medieval and early modern Augsburg brings the history of this intriguing, and in many ways unusual, imperial city to a wider anglophone
audience.[...] There is no doubt that this volume must stand as one of the most complete
and wide-ranging surveys of any single early modern
city.[...] a supremely impressive achievement,
and it will undoubtedly
succeed in bringing the intriguing history of Augsburg to a wider audience
for a long time to come".

"Le volume est une très bonne introduction à l’histoire et l’historiographie d’Augsbourg au début des Temps modernes. [...] Cette publication permettra aux lectrices et lecteurs non germanophones de découvrir les résultats de recherches sur une ville très importante du Saint Empire et un centre commercial et culturel prémoderne. [...] Pour les lecteurs germanophones, le livre offre surtout un très bon bilan d’ensemble/résumé sur les recherches sur Augsbourg au XVIe siècle, à une époque de floraison économique et culturelle et une invitation à découvrir davantage l’histoire fascinante de cette ville."
