Even if the present work has not achieved the European dimension assumed in the title - it is essentially a German-French-English textbook comparison - it nevertheless represents a considerable attempt at comparing European textbook research in the area of ​​the Middle Ages from a national perspective initiate. The approach to the history of ideas, which aims at the genesis of historical images and ideas of history, is in any case advanced in the field of didactics of medieval teaching. "

The Berlin historian Malte Prietzel reviewed his post- doctoral thesis War Defeats in the Middle Ages on H-Soz-u-Kult in 2010 : “This substantial study is particularly important because these insights are not only formulated abstractly, but also through many apt analyzes with regard to their practicability and their earnings are illustrated. This gives this work the character of a model for further investigations into medieval historiography. "
