“The contributions of Jan Royt’s publication are manifold. First of all, it has compassed the most recent knowledge in the field; second, it can be used as a textbook; and third, it fills a certain empty place in contemporary literature. Last, but not least, its engaging style demonstrates the scholar’s sense of significant manifestations and clarity, as can be evidenced by the well-chosen pictorial supplement.”
