Hartog's interaction with the available literature is significant, providing discussion and reference to further sources through the footnotes at nearly every point possible. The entire volume is meticulously researched. The bibliography and footnotes as well as the degree of interaction with German literature not readily accessible to most readers are the obvious strengths of this volume. These factors set Hartog's work apart.
