Jankowiak and Booth argue that "none of Maximus' characteristic preoccupations appear in the ''Life'', and in turn none of the ''Life' ''s central themes appear in the fleeting Marian reflections contained within his genuine corpus". They also write that there is no Greek manuscript witnessing the text, no evidence that any key thinkers who draw on Maximus were aware of the ''Life' ''s existence and that no record of the ''Life'' as a work exists prior to the second half of the tenth century.<ref>{{Cite book|title="A New Date-List of the Works of Maximus the Confessor" in The Oxford Handbook of Maximus the Confessor|author1=Jankowiak, M.|author2=Booth, P.|publisher=Oxford University Press|year=2015|isbn=978-0-19-967383-4|location=Oxford|pages=72β3}}</ref> '''Collections''' {{refbegin}} *''Maximus Confessor: Selected Writings (Classics of Western Spirituality)''.
