"Der vorliegende Band verdeutlicht insgesamt das überaus reiche und anregende Spektrum gegenwärtiger Selbstzeugnisforschung. Außerdem zu loben ist das sorgfältige Lektorat, mit welchem der Band vorbereitet wurde. Überaus hilfreich sind auch die passend ausgewählten Illustrationen und Ausschnitte aus Originalquellen mit Übersetzungen (zum Beispiel S. 45f.). Der Sammelband vermag neue Impulse für weitere Projekte zu geben, die sich mit Selbstzeugnissen aus verschiedenen Jahrhunderten und Ländern beschäftigen."
