Rezensionen
"This volume is the single best introduction to Albert the Great in English and constitutes a comprehensive study of his thought."
John T. Slotemaker, Fairfield University. In: Religious Studies Review , Vol. 39, No. 4 (December 2013), p. 278.

"Insgesamt kann man feststellen, dass der Band mit dem Vorhaben, dem gesamten Denken Alberts des Großen gerecht zu werden, durchaus Erfolg hat. Auch wenn er letzten Endes nicht für Anfänger gedacht ist, so muss man dem Herausgeber Achtung für den Mut zollen, einen so komplexen und schwierigen Denker in ein letztlich immer noch handliches Format gebracht zu haben ohne auf Grundlegendes verzichten zu müssen."
Jörg Alejandro Tellkamp, Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana-Iztapalapa. In: Das Mittelalter , Bd. 20:1 (2015), S. 213-214.
