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.
Cost: 
Purchased by Gordon Duff for the John Rylands Library from the London booksellers Bull & Auvache for £50.00 in January 1894.
