File
MS. James 15
Held at the Weston Library
Notes from:
- Fol. 1. Nigel Wireker's 'Burnelli speculum stultorum', with variants from MSS. described as A, B, and C, and so perhaps from the Cologne edition of 1499: for MSS. of this poem see J. H. Mozley in Speculum, vol. iv (1929), p. 430, and vol. v (1930), p. 251
- Fol. 73v. the satirical poem entitled Serlo: beg. 'Quae monachi quaerunt', and an anonymous poem on Rome the Simoniac, followed at fol. 76 by excerpts from MS. Bodl. l58
- Fol. 82v. 'Quaedam prosa de fratribus' from 'MS. Th. 2. 12' at Bodley in verses of 4 lines: beg. 'Rector circuli rotundi respice de coelo'. This is a 1605 press-mark but the MS. has not been identified.
