Paul Misner, writing for
The Catholic Historical Review, praised the series as a whole as being "perhaps the most valuable of the undertakings" of GRECO (the
Groupement de recherches coordonnées of the
CNRS). He described the series' first and fourth volumes as "brimming with details" about many social Catholic figures. Maurilio Guasco complimented the books as an "indepensible tool" for learning about French religious history, noting its inclusion of less well known figures and the series' introductions. == References ==
