Description:

Meditations on the Life of Christ. Red rubrication and a pen-flourished initial 'A' in blue and red ink introduces the eleventh chapter. After the death of Herod an angel once again appears to Joseph and tells him that it is safe to return to Israel so the family begin the journey back. The text reflects on the tribulations Jesus suffered even from being a small child. The written space is 265 x 153 mm, with two columns in short-r anglicana formata.

Notes:
|
The Meditation on the Life of Christ or the Meditatione Vitae Christi was believed to have been written by the famous 13th-century Franciscan John Bonaventura but more recent scholarship has now attributed the authorship to a little known 14th-century Italian Franciscan, Johannes de Caulibus. Little is know of Love himself, though it appears that he was the prior of Mount Grace, a Carthusian monastery in Yorkshire, as a 'Dom Nicholas Love' is listed as such in 1410.
