(...) Das Werk ist als historisch-biographisches Lexikon noch heute nicht ohne Wert und bleibt vor allem eine ergiebige Quelle für Histörchen und Lebensgeschichten aus dem 17. Jh., es beruht auf weitläufigen Quellenstudien und schüttet eine krause Fülle von Begebenkeiten vor dem Leser aus, was wohl seine einstige Beliebtheit erklärt".
