Surviving in at least 52 manuscripts, the text seems to have been among the most popular biblical commentaries of the Early Middle Ages, and was cited by Claudius of Turin, Hrabanus Maurus, Angelomus of Luxeuil, Haimo of Auxerre, and Remigius of Auxerre. Around two centuries after its original composition, it was translated into Old English by Ælfric of Eynsham as Interrogationes Sigewulfi.
