 “It [...] is a labor of love. […] It is not a dry academic work but a beautifully produced volume worthy of their subject. There are abundant illustrations of manuscripts, relevant coins and antiquities, and other printed works of the period. […] This is a work that will be enjoyed by anyone interested in the history of our field.” (Jonathan Kagan, Review in the Magazine of the American Numismatic Society 2024,4, pp. 62-63)

“Jansen and Heenes promise their ownthoughts on Strada’s commitment to provide ‘scholarly, historical information’ (121) and further information on Strada’s relationships with his patrons and contemporary collectors in a second volume of the catalogue. Unfortunately, at the time of writing, it seems as though this second part will not appear without further institutional funding for the project or the appearance of a twenty-first century Fugger. This is a real pity.” (William Stenhouse, Review in Erudition and the Republic of Letters 2026, DOI: doi:10.1163/24055069-20262004)
