Lincoln 1999, pp. 125–126. "No Germanist was more influential on Dumezil than Höfler, nor more closely associated with him throughout his career, except the Dutch historian of religions Jan de Vries... Also noteworthy is the Swedish Indo Europeanist Stig Wikander (1908–83), who remained a close friend and made fundamental contributions to Dumezil's thought over a period of five decades."

Lincoln 1999, p. 123. "Dumézil's [work] won him virtually universal admiration. [He was a] scholar of extraordinary abilities and erudition... Among his other gifts, he was master of countless languages: virtually all the Indo-European family, including some of its more obscure members (Armenian, Ossetic), as well as most of the Caucasian languages, one of which (Oubykh) he saved from extinction, and a few outliers like Quechua, which he seems to have acquired simply for fun. His oeuvre spanned six decades and includes more than fifty books, all of which are marked by extraordinary lucidity, ingenuity, rigor, and intelligence. His accomplishments have won wide acclaim among philologians, historians of religions, and anthropologists." Lincoln, Bruce (1999). Theorizing Myth: Narrative, Ideology, and Scholarship. University of Chicago Press. ISBN0226482022.

Carlson 2008, p. 5. "Another issue is Bruce Lincoln’s overtly Marxist point of view. Marxism has traditionally criticized the neo-traditionalist and reactionary aspects of the Indo-European discourse and has been criticized by it in turn." Carlson, Maria (2008).
