In 1389, the Franciscan monk Jean de Souabe translated into French
the Horologium sapientiae by the mystic Henry Suso (1295-1366) of
the Rhineland. In this moral treatise, wisdom conducts a dialog
with a student regarding the spiritual path to be followed, as
inspired by the passion of Christ, and invites him to meditate on
the passing of time. More than fifty copies of this work are known.
This manuscript from the Bibliothèque de Genève, dated 1417, was
probably written in the episcopal city.
