"Die vorliegende Studie verdient hohe Anerkennung. Sie ist uberaus innovativ, obwohl sie in methodischer Hinsicht gewisse Zweifel weckt. Die Verfasserin offenbart eine tiefgehende Vertrautheit mit der aktuellen Forschung, was insbesondere das hagiographische Schrifttum und dessen Quellenkritik angeht (auch wenn dabei die neuesten Erkenntnisse der franzosischen Geschichtsschreibung nur ungenugend berucksichtigt werden).
