"Das Buch ist grosszügig angelegt ... Es ist eine feine Arbeit, die in die reformatorische Welt des Schulwesens führt" (Hans-Joachim König in Blätter für Württembergische Kirchengeschichte 1983-`84). "In this virtual Culmannus redivivus the author has made a major contribution to sixteenth-century literary studies as well as provided an exacting model for similar endeavors" (Peter Schaeffer in Renaissance Quarterly 36,2, 1983).
