"Victorine studies is currently experiencing something of a renaissance, with Brepols publishers serving as a leader in this regard. Their ‘Bibliotheca Victorina’ series contributes specialized studies in various European languages, and the ‘Victorine Texts in Translation’ series provides Victorine writings in English. Taken together, these series have yielded an embarrassment of riches for contemporary students of the abbey of Saint Victor. The two books discussed in this review are crucial elements for Victorine studies and both are most welcome additions to Brepols’ growing Victorine library." (Dennis P. Bray, in Medieval Mystical Theology, 2022)

« (…) l’ouvrage d’Aage Rydstrom-Poulsen remplit bien son rôle, qui est d’inviter un public plus large que les seuls spécialistes à entrer dans le chef d’œuvre théologique de Richard de St-Victor, quitte à en poursuivre l’exploration par la prise en compte des études en nombre croissant qui paraissent à son sujet. » (Dominique Poirel, dans la Revue d'Histoire ecclésiastique vol. 117/1-2, 2022, p.349)
