'A Medieval Cabinet of Curiosities offers a fresh perspective on the Middle Ages which challenges traditional interpretation of museums and collecting, revealing the vibrant intellectual curiosity that characterized the period. This book is perfect for ‘dipping in’ when reading time is limited – and I can guarantee you’ll discover something intriguing and thought provoking.' -- The Writing Desk, June 2025 'Overall, I found this quite a fascinating read. Chevalier is extremely knowledgeable about medieval Europe and these artifacts, no matter how obscure. If you want a book that tells the stories of medieval Europe through the trinkets left behind, I recommend you read “A Medieval Cabinet of Curiosities” by Lorris Chevalier.' -- Adventures of a Tudor Nerd, July 2025 'The explanations are all thorough, however, and Chevalier offers multiple possible explanations to unanswered questions, allowing the reader to think about the possible uses for or purpose of the objects included. You do need to really focus when reading, as there is a lot of information and depth in not a lot of space, though the subheadings in each section help. It’s an interesting look at lesser-known objects of the medieval period, from the Vikings through to the 16th century.' -- Tudor Blogger, August 2025
