Review(s)
“(…) the volume serves as a fitting tribute to Pierre du Prey, whose own exemplary scholarship has spanned eras.” (Carolyn Yerkes, in the Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians, 75/4, December 2016)
“The collection does (…) pay appropriate tribute to a great scholar and, indirectly, shows how du Prey’s mentorship achieved a lasting impact on the course of research in subsequent generations.” (Paul Ranogajec, dans Histara, 24/04/2019)
