Early Modern Aristotle: On the Making and Unmaking of Authority

[I]mmense scholarship . . . A review cannot do justice the enormous mass of primary literature Del Soldato treats in the course of her work. Indeed, despite its relatively modest size, Early Modern Aristotle is destined to become a standard reference work for all scholars investigating any aspect not simply of Aristotelianism but also of subjects as varied as Protestantism, Cartesianism, and science in the Renaissance. ― Modern Philology

Although stating that Aristotle was a great philosopher is a truism, he and his philosophy remain fascinating to scholars; Del Soldato’s book is an excellent example of this fascination..[T]he book gives a detailed and well written overview of the fortune of Aristotle’s authority, its use and abuse in early modern Europe, which will undoubtedly be of interest to any scholar of Aristotelianism and anyone interested in the circulation of thought and intellectual trends. ― Renaissance Quarterly
