"A fascinating study of late medieval visual literacy that cuts across disciplines including literary history, art history, archaeology, visual studies, religious studies and more, Medieval Badges: Their Wearers and Their Worlds is also a meta-reflection on scholarship on material cultures and worlds that elude our understanding. … Overall, this tour de force of material cultural studies and social history holds relevance for methodological self-reflection and humanistic ethos across German Studies. As such, it is deserving of recognition and readership by scholars who do not specialize in the late medieval period. While it offers in-depth and broadly synthetic research for scholars of the medieval period, it also advances potential paradigm shifts for the understanding of modernity and its association of mass media and mass production. Integrating creative vignettes that bring history to life, Medieval Badges explores new ways of representing research that have the potential to invigorate and reimagine the traditional medium of the scholarly book."
