'COLECTIONS'
Birgitta at Prayer, Revelationes , Ghotan: L�beck, 1492
aris, Biblioth�que Mazarine 1202, is a small manuscript, titled 'Colections', finished 23 July 1724, written by an English Benedictine nun in exile of the Paris Abbey of Our Lady of Good Hope, today St Mary's Abbey, Colwich. Its writer does not give her name, but cites her sources for her contemplations. Her Abbey possessed two, perhaps more, manuscripts of Julian of Norwich, among them the medieval exemplar manuscripts for the seventeenth century British Library Sloane and Stowe transcriptions. Some of these entries in 'Colections' clearly reflect a reading, and a memory, of Julian of Norwich's Showing. The entirety of the 'Colections' so much deserved complete transcription and publication. But I only had time, while transcribing and collating the Julian, Showing of Love, Manuscript in the Paris, Biblioth�que Nationale, to jot down these entries. Then I purchased its microfilm to transcribe the whole. This fascinating text is now published as 'Colections' by an English Nun in Exile: Biblioth�que Mazarine 1202 in Professor James Hogg's University of Salzburg series, Analecta Cartusiana 119:26. The Catalogue at the Biblioth�que Mazarine, because its title page has a pasted engraving of a male Benedictine at prayer, contemptuously speaks of the text as written by a superstitious monk!
This fine manuscript has now been completely transcribed and may be found at:

St Arsenius's advice also occurs in the translation of the excerpt from Henry Suso's Horologium Sapientiae , British Library Amherst Manuscript, Additional 37,790 (which contains as well Marguerite Porete's Mirror of Simple Souls Julian of Norwich's Showings, andJan van Ruusbroec, Sparklng Stone . Dame Gertrude More , Thomas More's descendant and foundress of the English Benedictine Abbey of Our Lady of Consolation in Cambrai (today Stanbrook Abbey), the mother house to the Abbey of Our Lady of Good Hope in Paris (today St Mary's Abbey, Colwich), likewise wrote, 'I will now take thy advice given me to fly, be silent, and quiet, and I will hourly come to learn the song of love and praise of Thee', which the editor, Dom Benedict Weld-Blundell, footnotes in ' The Writings of Dame Gertrude More', 1910, p. 56, as 'words spoken from heaven to St Arsenius'. Her sister, Dame Bridget More, copied out Dame Margaret Gascoigne writing on Dame Julian of Norwich's Showings.
