Reviews

"Morman is careful to present Aubert's limitations and significance; he avoids the pitfall of some biographers who claim too much for their subjects. . . . [Aubert] was far beneath Bayle, Jurieu, Arnauld, Bossuet, and Nicole but worthy of a full-length study. Morman's monograph will interest specialists in the decade of the 1680s." - The American Historical Review
