GORECKI, P., The Text and the World. The Henrykow Book, Its Authors, and their Region, 1160-1310. Oxford University Press, 2015. 320p. Hardback. There is much that can be learned from this book. In the first instance, it is a lesson in how to do micro-history or local history; any postgraduate looking to write a dissertation on local social or economic history, or a history of a single landowners estates, or a history of an individual monastery, ought to include this book as a part of an essential library of methodological approaches to such an undertaking ... Gorecki succeeds magnificently in providing us with a history of a European monastic institution that can serve as an example of European history within a larger, overarching framework that encompasses many regions of Europe east and west; and while I must reiterate my hope that he will also provide us with more on that overarching framework, this book is in itself already an outstanding achievement.
