"Caravale's masterful and well-researched study strengthens the link between Italian Humanism and the notion of tolerance that was to become a prime feature of Enlightenment thinking: a necessary work for students of intellectual history." Damon Di Mauro, Gordon College. In: Sixteenth Century Journal , Vol. 47, No. 3 (Fall 2016), pp. 711-712. "The book's excellent introduction and bold conclusion leave no doubt about its theme: Pucci was not the isolated heretic of earlier scholarship, but should be set in the great tradition of radical reformers, both within Italy and outside it. [.

] Caravale's own seriousness about this disappointed wanderer pervades his immensely scholarly book. [.] Caravale's grand themes are illuminating, as is his colourful depiction of the naïve and changeable Pucci: he is made part of a whole storm-tossed society living through the trauma--and the hope--generated by schism and 'reform'. [.] A great achievement." M. Anne Overell, Durham University. In: English Historical Review , Vol.

132, Issue 558 (December 2017). "Cette belle biographie intellectuelle d'un personnage éminemment original pour son époque est aussi un vrai livre d'histoire. Tout au long de son analyse fine et argumentée des idées de Pucci, Caravale veille à ne jamais les détacher de leur contexte d'élaboration et de diffusion. Et ce n'est pas la moindre qualité de cet ouvrage très réussi." Hugues Daussy, Université de Franche-Comté. In: Renaissance and Reformation , Vol. 41, No. 3 (summer 2018), pp.

206-208.
