[Meditationes vite Christi]
Description
Catchwords in cartouches, framed with red or brown ink, and some decorated with crude penwork. Decoration: 9-line incipit initial in blue, surrounded by red decorative penwork. Similar 2-line initials throughout. The beginnings of a drawing of the crucified Christ on f. 2v. Written in anglicana. On long-term deposit from Ripon Cathedral Library. A letter about the manuscript from Henry Wilson, British Museum, 1882, is kept with it. Principal contents: ff. 3r-121v Meditationes vite Christi, formerly attributed to Saint Bonaventure; ff. 121v-122v (added in the beginning of the 15th century) seven lines each containing a cue to a prayer, of which the first (Misere mei deus...) is taken from Psalm 50 (51); a separate prayer beginning on line 8 (tibi confiteor omnia peccata mea...) then continues until the end of the manuscript, but ends imperfectly. See for a fuller description: N. R. Ker, Medieval Manuscripts in British Libraries, vol. 4 (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1983) p. 211.
