I loved the historical depth and perspective that Guibert brought.
Priya –
I was really intrigued by the window into medieval beliefs, especially the relics. Guibert’s writing is okay, but a little hard to follow.
Drishti Singh –
Definitely a great primary source, however it needs time to completely process it.
Ayush Jain –
Guibert’s personal story is captivating, a bit self-serving but, nevertheless, a rewarding reading experience. It offers a unique insight into the mindset of the time.
Abha Suman –
This book offers a valuable glimpse into the medieval mindset.
Yogita Waghey –
Too much detail, too less essence. Author is just rambling around, with no concrete content. Avoid it!
T Raghu Yagnavalkya –
If you are into theological and saints then this book is for you! A masterpiece.
Prashant Singh –
A good addition to my collection of historical works. However, it might not appeal to everyone due to its academic nature.
Bharath Jayaram –
Really enjoyed reading it. Guibert’s point of view is pretty singular. It is like you are living in that era.
B Vaishnavi –
I had some mixed feelings about this book, but overall, I liked it. There were sections which were very boring to read.
J Raghunath –
A valuable historical text, but the writing style is challenging for modern readers. Definitely not a light read.
Akshay Agnihotri –
Interesting primary source material. ‘Monodies’ was engaging, but ‘Relics of Saints’ felt dense. I wish it was less dense.
Nakul –
A fascinating glimpse into medieval life, though Guibert’s ego can be a bit much at times. The relics section was interesting. I enjoyed reading about the First Crusade.
Akash Ankit –
The ‘Monodies’ part was great! I loved the personal insight. The other section was a bit too theological for me.
