"All in all, we could safely deduce that the present volume...sums up our knowledge on Sylvester Syropoulo’s life and times, with insights regarding his personality, offering at the same time reflections and portrayals of his era in a vivid description of 15th-century Mediterranean politics and art, while another crucial denominator of the volume deals with the background contrast between Greeks and Latins in view of the Ottoman threat." - Photeine V. Perra, Johannesburg
"...scholars will benefit from the book's demonstration that polemical works, such as Sylvester's memoires, can provide details and information not found in less biased sources." - Hortulus
