Reviews
“his well-written and very clear introductions and conclusions to each chapter should be beneficial for most readers. Scholars of medieval literature and historiography will also be interested in Kretschmer's analysis, in particular from his discussion of the linguistic transition from Latin to early Romance that he sees in the paraphrased text. Finally, this work provides an excellent methodological example for future research in medieval historiography” Eric H. Limbach. Review in H-HRE, H-Net Reviews. March, 2008.

“Kretschmer’s study makes for a very dense read, heavily laden with detailed evidence, but it is well worth the effort”. David Foote. Review in Speculum 83, 2009, 1017-1019
