“Weinreich’s handling of Ribadeneyra’s text(s) is exemplary. He provides an accurate, elegant, fluid translation […] a truly remarkable achievement.”
Freddy C. Dominguez, University of Arkansas. In: Archivum Historicum Societatis Iesu, Vol. 86, No. 171 (2017), pp. 219–221.

“Weinreich’s translation of Ribadeneyra’s hefty work reads easily, and is footnoted throughout in helpful detail. There are several useful documents in the appendices and a biblical as well as a general index. At 110 pages Weinreich’s introductory essay is a short monograph in itself, full of insightful discussion. All in all, the volume represents a remarkable achievement on the part of a very early career scholar, and one hopes that it will be widely consulted and cited.”
Peter Marshall, University of Warwick. In: The Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 70, No. 3 (July 2019), pp. 636–637.

“In addition to a clear sense-for-sense translation that renders masterful early modern Spanish rhetorical flourishes into elegant English, Weinreich’s volume features a wide array of valuable critical tools. Its bibliography and set of notes are almost encyclopedic. […]. Weinreich’s volume is an essential resource not only for those wishing to study British Catholicism from a more global, transnational perspective, but also for those examining early modern European ecclesiastical histories.”
Deborah Forteza, Grove City College. In: British Catholic History, Vol. 34, No 1 (May 2018), pp. 175–177.

“The treatment of historical, biographical, and bibliographical context is extremely thorough, in both the introduction and the annotations. Weinreich’s diligence re-introduces an eloquent voice into the debate about late sixteenth-century European politics and religious history.”
Victor Houliston, University of the Witwatersrand. In: The Catholic Historical Review, Vol. 104, No. 3 (Summer 2018), pp. 550–551.

“Ribadeneyra could do no better than to be Englished by Weinreich, in a book that promises to transform our understanding of early modern religious history through one of its most learned, prodigious, and impassioned voices.”
Sarah Covington, CUNY. In: Journal of Jesuit Studies, Vol. 5, No. 4 (2018), pp. 689–691.

“Esta traducción se convertirá [...] en un texto de referencia para los estudios sobre la Reforma en el mundo académico anglosajón”.
Javier Burguillo, Universidad de Salamanca. In: Studia Aurea, Vol. 12 (2018), pp. 357–372.
