This interpretation combines literary criticism with a reference guide to Bonaventura's extratextual sources, viewing the "Nachtwachen" as a menippea—a satirical subgenre exploring the gap between ideals and realities in the quest for ultimate truth. The text's seemingly random array of names, hints, and allusions has been decoded to reveal the comprehensive backdrop against which the anonymous author challenges traditional knowledge and wisdom, alongside personal experiences and views. Proper names serve as authorial indicators in a narrative where time, place, and action remain deliberately vague. Once the jumbled sequence is unraveled, the text emerges as a compendium of eighteenth-century culture and intellectual experience, reflecting life's inherent confusion. Oxymeronic combinations and abrupt shifts in mood further underscore the complexities of human existence, characteristic of the menippea, which refrains from providing direct answers. Instead, deeper meaning arises when all references converge, revealing coherence beneath the discord.

Georg Christoph Lichtenberg bezieht sich verschiedentlich auf sein nicht näher erklärtes Gedankensystem, das sich jedoch aus seinen unzusammenhängenden und verstreuten Bemerkungen rekonstruieren läßt und ihn als disziplinierten, methodischen Denker und verantwortungsvollen Lehrer erweist, dem die Suche nach absoluter Wahrheit und die zweckmäßige Anwendung neuer Einsichten wichtiger war, als der Fortschritt auf Spezialgebieten. Seine vorbildlichen Methoden der Wissensaneignung und -verbreitung lassen sich verallgemeinern und noch immer praktisch auswerten.
