Tractatus varii pii, conscripti in usum domus B. Brigittae de Syon per quendam Joannem, c. 1500
In capite uniuscujusque folii inscriptum est "Jhū mercy;" et in margine inferiori plurimorum sunt signaturae schedulas denotantes, sicuti in libris impressis inveniuntur. In prima schedula, cruce + signata, sunt tresdecim folia; in caeteris, ab a usque ad i, duodecim folia continentur, excepta illa literam g habente, in qua sunt undecim. Hic illic subscripta sunt haec: "Legitur et corrigitur, " sive solum, "Legitur."
Ad initium codicis praemissa sunt tria folia, in quibus imagines sequentes, in ligno incisae: —
- i. The "armys off Cristis passyon:" Jesus inter brachia Matris suae ad pedem Crucis sedentis; cum emblematibus Passionis viginti circa Eum dispositis. Haec etiam sub figura Ejus impressa sunt: "who sum ever devoutly beholdith these armys off cristis passyon hat VI M VII C LV yeris off pardon."
- ii. Jesus in Cruce, emblematibus viginti duo circa Eum dispositis: his sub figura impressis: "To them that before this ymage of pyte deuoutly say fyue Pater noster, fyue Aueys & a Credo pytously beholdyng these armes of Xps passyon ar graunted XXXII M VII C & LV yeres of pardon."
- iii. Dies Judicii: in margine superiori, "Surgite Mortui. Venite ad Judicium;" in inferiori, "Arma Beate Birgitte: De Syon +".
Haec duo xylographica [i., ii.] videntur esse specimina unica preli Caxtoniani. De aliis similibus sub eodem titulo "Ymage of pyte" a Caxton excusis, vide dissertationem ab Hen. Bradshaw, M.A., pp. 135–152, vol. iii. inter "Cambridge antiquarian communications," 8º. Cambr. 1879.
In his tribus foliis, versis, haec etiam sunt manu in scripta: —
- (fols. 1, 2) i. Hymni duo in laudem B. Mariae V. Inc. α. "Gaude Sponsa Jhû Christi! / O quam felix que fuisti / Digna tali nomine." β. "Ave, mundi spes, Maria, / Ave mitis, ave pia, / Ave plena gratia."
- (fol. 3) ii. Septem deprecationes ad Jesum Christum in cruce pendentem.
