«Copelands work is exemplary; it serves as a reminder that the making of Counter-Reformation saints continued to be rooted in grassroots devotional cults, even in the post-Tridentine climate of heightened regulation. This is undoubtedly an important book and will be of broad interest to scholars and students alike.»
