Notes:
|
The Lyif of Christ, or Myrrour of the Blessed Lyf of Jesu Christ, was an abridged English translation by Nicholas Love of the 'Meditationes Vitae Christi'. The Meditationes was a devotional life of Christ, intended to be used for meditation. It was once believed to have been written by the famous 13th-century Franciscan John Bonaventura, but it has now been attributed to a little-known 14th-century Italian Franciscan, Johannes de Caulibus.
