In his 1498 edition of these works, Jacques LeFèvre d’Étaples praised them as "The most holy works of the divine Dionysius the Areopagite, of such worth and excellence that no praise in words can hope to equal" (sacratissima opera tanta excellentie dignitate eminentia ut commendationis eorum nullus unquam verbis valeat assequi summam) Jacobus Faber Stapulensis piis lectoribus, Theologia Vivificans; cibus solidus, 1498.
