Reviews of my work (a non-exhaustive list)

CHAYES 2017 (‘Crossing Cultures…’)

Luca Beltrami, La Rassegna della Letteratura Italiana, 2018 (2), p. 503.

CHAYES, with VELTRI 2016

Giulio Busi, ‘Accademie per soli ebrei’, Il Sole 24 Ore, 1 October 2017.

‘Un modo interessante di analizzarlo, questo microcosmo mondano-intellettuale, è provare a vederlo dai margini. Per esempio, dalla prospettiva della minoranza ebraica. È quello che fanno Giuseppe Veltri e Evelien Chayes in un volume dedicato a Venezia durante l’età barocca, ma che spazia anche su altre realtà goegrafiche.’

CHAYES ed. with ARBEL and HENDRIX 2012

  1. Paschalis M. Kitromilides, review of Cyprus and the Renaissance (1450-1650), Turnhout, Brepols, 2012. Mediterranean Historical Review, 30 (1), p. 75-77.

‘I was deeply impressed by the extensive new material and Chayes’s further pursuit of the intellectual and geographical peregrinations of Andrea Zaccaria. The study provides an excellent illustration of the integration of Cypriots into the heterodox culture of the mid-sixteenth century and their participation in organized initiatives of intellectual exchange, such as the academies of the time.’

‘[O]n account of its professionalism, the collection under review represents a major contribution to the historiography of Renaissance Cyprus, establishing the subject as a recognizable and very promising specialization in a very broad and active field of research. The editors and contributors have a serious claim on our gratitude for raising the historiography of Cyprus considerably above the provincialism by which it is often tormented and setting standards of research, originality, and reflection to which all serious students of the history of this important island should aspire.’

  1. John Monfasani, review of Cyprus and the Renaissance (1450-1650), Turnhout, Brepols, 2012. Renaissance Quarterly, 67, 2 (Summer 2014), p. 609-610.

‘In short, this is a valuable volume for students of Renaissance art, literature,

intellectual history, language, and religion.’

  1. Philippe Trélat, review of Cyprus and the Renaissance (1450-1650), Turnhout, Brepols, 2012. Cahiers du Centre d’Etudes Chypriotes, 2013 (43), p. 570-573.

CHAYES 2010 (L’Éloquence…)

  1. Brown, P. Desan, ‘French Studies: The Sixteenth Century’, in The Year’s Work in Modern Language Studies, 73, p. 24-40:

‘[This] is a brilliant study of the lapidary tradition. (…) Translations of Alardus of Amsterdam’s poetry, indices by subject, places, and proper names included along with bibliography make this an excellent resource.’

  1. Roland Guillot, Réforme, Humanisme, Renaissance 71 (2011), p. 226-227:

‘Au total une brillante étude intelligente qui a le grand mérite de tirer vers le littéraire ce

domaine de la gemmologie et des lapidaires.’ (p. 227).

  1. Judy Kem, The Sixteenth Century Journal XLII, 2 (Summer 2011), p. 524-25:

‘Indeed, this thought-provoking study will appeal not only to scholars of Renaissance poetics and of medieval and Rensaissance lapidaries and their generic evolution, but also to those who study Neoplatonism and the history of medicine in the sixteenth century.’ (p. 525)

CHAYES 2007 (PhD-thesis)

  1. Sylvaine Bokdam, review of E. Chayes, L’Éloquence des pierres précieuses: De Marbode de Rennes à Alard d’Amsterdam et Remy Belleau. Sur quelques lapidaires du XVIe siécle, Amsterdam 2007, in Bibliothèque d’Humanisme et Renaissance, LXXI-2009-3, p. 626-628:
    • ‘On signalera dans ces chapitres de très belles études…’ (p. 627);
    • ‘… un travail aussi documenté et suggestif…’ (p. 628);
    • ‘…un travail décisif, qui devrait constituer une référence sur la poétique de la pierre à la Renaissance’ (p. 628).
  2. Jeroen Jansen, review of E. Chayes Amsterdam 2007 (doctoral thesis), in Nieuwsbrief International Society for the History of Rhetoric – afd. Benelux, 2007/1, June 2007 (digital format):
    • ‘een prachtige studie’
    • ‘een rijke en bijzondere studie … waarin de auteur er niet voor terugge­deins­d is zichzelf zeer gecompliceerde en lastige betekenisvragen te stellen. Dat een jonge promovenda in staat is gebleken de aangeboorde problematiek te ontrafelen en in deze vorm te presenteren, mag dan ook als een opmerkelijke verdienste worden beschouwd.’
