"The `Seventeenth-Century Orange-Nassau Library` gives a full account of its complex history, traces the vicissitudes of every book and provides fifteenth indexes and concordances, together with a very extensive bibliography. [...] It is an excellent example of the intelligent use of computers in cataloguing antiquarian collections, besides being a valuable contribution to the cultural history of the House of Orange-Nassau" (T.A. Birrell in The Times Literary Supplement, 30 spet. 1994). The catalogue is preceded by "[...] an excellent historical survey of origins and turbulent history of collections" (J.W. Smit, Columbia University, in Libraries & Culture, 31, 1996). "Cette publication qui résulte d`une somme de travail considérable, constitue désormais pour les historiens du livre au XVIIe un instrument de travail de premier ordre; ils se réjouiront aussi de l`élégance de sa présentation" (Françoise Waquet in Nouvelles du Livre Ancien, 78, 1994). "[...] ein hochrangiges Dokument europäischer Kulturgeschichte, da es Jahrhunderte überdauernde höfische Lesekultur und entscheidende Weichenstellungen der Konfessions- und Staatenbildung im 17. Jahrhundert fokussiert" (Dieter Merzbacher in Wolfenbütteler Notizen zur Buchgeschichte, 21, 1996).
