”Monumental in depth and detail … a vade-mecum for all serious medievalists. In its rich deployment of the most up-to-date publications its bibliographical usefulness can hardly be exaggerated. It is nothing less than an encyclopaedia of medieval French literature. …. A colossal achievement … This leads us closer to medieval literature then all the revisionist enterprises which Busby refers to at the beginning. They will be remaindered, his book will remain.” in: Modern Language Review, 100.4, 2005
