^ Sandys 1908, vol. II, pp. 266–267: "Camerarius was fully equal to his friend and exemplar Melanchthon in the wide extent of his attainments and in his thorough knowledge of Greek and Latin in particular, but he distinctly surpassed him in critical acumen, and in this respect holds one of the foremost places among the German scholars of the sixteenth century."
^ Pfeiffer 1976, p. 139: "Camerarius possessed a very wide knowledge of the ancient world, akin to the learned encyclopedism of the seventeenth century, but still more cultured, sympathetic, and human."
