She has obtained some additional and more recent photographs, and the illustrations include a new ground plan and a new section of the chevet of the Abbey Church, both drawn under the supervision of Sumner McKnight Crosby.

The Burlington Magazine praises this edition as a milestone: "Dr. Panofsky is to be congratulated on producing, for the first time in any modern language, the whole of Suger's writing on St.-Denis... a central pillar of the twelfth-century renaissance... destined to remain the standard edition for a long time to come."
