Some praise for the Dutch doctoral thesis that formed the basis of this book.

`What he has given us is a masterly piece of fine scholarship, describing and clarifying many difficult questions of institutional history with respect to cathedral building in the late Middle Ages. From this point of view, the book will remain a classic. It will be a precious and necessary basis for further research about problems of structural change in the period concerned.' Herman Van der Wee in: Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians

`This monumental and erudite-but always thoroughly readable - economic analysis derives its unique interest from its continual reference to other domains and dimensions of religious experience.' Willem Frijhoff in: Archief voor de geschiedenis van de katholieke kerk in Nederland

`Various important studies of recent years, such as those by Duby, have already demonstrated the fundamental necessity of placing cathedrals not only in their cultural and artistic framework but in their social, economic and administrative context as well. This study fits seamlessly within that genre of work, in terms of both its aims and its qualities.' Frans Verhaeghe in: Annales: economies, societes, civilisations

This is the first complete overview of the process of commissioning and financing the construction of cathedrals during the Middle Ages. The first part of the book outlines the sources of wealth from which the commissioners of these projects could draw, including contributions from the bishop, the chapter, the city, and above all those parishioners for whom the structure was to be erected. The second part is a case study of the financing of Utrecht’s cathedral, for which the archives are among the best-preserved in Europe. Vroom concludes with an analysis of the financing for other notable cathedrals, including St. Peter’s in Rome.

"The book ... is likely to become the standard point of reference for anyone interested in its subject. But it is much more than that, as it gives invaluable insights into the financial realities of some of Europe's major religious institutions, and opens a windo on important aspects of medieval culture." - P.S. Barnwell, Kellogg College, University of Oxford "What he has given us is a masterly piece of fine scholarship, describing and clarifying many difficult questions of institutional history with respect to cathedral building in the late Middle Ages. From this point of view, the book will remain a classic. It will be a precious and necessary basis for further research about problems of structural change in the period concerned" -- Prof.em. Herman Van der Wee, Anthony Van Dyck Chair, U.C.L.A. "[ ...] deze monumentale , schitterend gedrukte, en erudiete, maar steeds even vlot leesbare [ ...] economische analyse , die haar kracht ontleent [ ...] aan de voortdurende verwijzing naar andere domeinen en dimensies van de geloofsbeleving'" -- Prof. Dr. Willem Frijhoff, Emeritus professor of Early Modern History, VU University "[ ...] Depuis quelques années des études importantes telles celles de Duby [ ...] ont démontré à juste titre la nécessité de replacer [ ...] les cahtédrales non seulement dans leur cadre culturel et artistique, mais aussi dans leur contexte social, économique et administratif. L'étude de W.H.Vroom [ ...] s'insère parfaitement [ ...] dans le genre de travaux aussi bien pas ses buts que par ses qualités" - Prof.em.dr. Frans Verhaeghe
