Description
  • Summary: CCCC MS 252, written in the early fourteenth century, which has an inscription of ownership by John de Reynham OSB, a monk of Norwich cathedral priory, contains a compilation of texts, mainly of a devotional nature. The main texts are the Stimulus amoris, written in the second half of the thirteenth century, once ascribed to St Bonaventure OFM, but probably by James of Milan OFM (fl. c. 1296), a commentary on the rule of St Benedict by Bernard Ayglier OSB (d. 1282), and a Life of St Helen by Jocelin of Furness OCist (d. c. 1210).
