  • Résumé : CCCC MS 143, dating to c. 1425, is a second copy of the translation by Nicholas Love OCarth of the pseudo-Bonaventuran Meditationes uitae Christi, an expansion of the Gospel narrative of the life of Christ - the other is CCCC MS 142. This text in both its Latin versions and translations into the vernacular was very popular throughout Europe in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Nicholas Love, a Carthusian, was prior of Mount Grace in Yorkshire.

    rubric : (142r) Lorde Ihesu þy blissed life helpe and comforte oure wrecchid life

    Note : The name of the author or possessor of this book was formerly written in golden letters on a vacant page at the end, but thro' time or accident is now partly defaced; the only remaining words are these, Johannes Monke ... Michael...

    Note : On f. 142v at top in gold are the names Iohannes Monke ... Michael but I see no trace of erasure. They have been meant to stand over a picture which was never drawn
