Reviews
". . . documents the ways in which the Church coopted rural customs (e.g., fertility rites; the veneration of virgins and hermits) . . . . mines a wide variety of primary sources . . . . The appeal of Priscillianism in northern Spain and the difficulty of its eradication is well-noted." - Religious Studies Review
"Material on early Spain is not easy to come by; this makes Dr. Salisbury's work especially welcome since she provides solid entry into the world of early Christian Spain." - ADRIS
