LIVES OF THE SAINTS. Manuscript in English, n.d. [early 17th Century], in a neat secretary hand, comprising lives of approximately 43 saints arranged in order of their feast days, index, ink on paper, ruled margins, 93 leaves, folio (450 x 260mm), numbered, calf backed boards (split at hinges);
[with] two manuscripts in Latin, n.d. [l7th Century], the first 'Physiologiae universalis pars quarta [- pars sexta]', including three full-page diagrams showing the spheres, the positions of the earth in relation to the sun, and solar and lunar eclipses, as well as three smaller diagrams, 175 leaves, 4to, boards, remnants of ties (sprung); the second containing an 'Introductio ad Logicam' and a 'Universal moral philosophy', including a table showing 'Arbor praedicamentalis substantie', together 389 pages, 4to, limp vellum, ties.
The detailed interest in hagiography in an English manuscript of the early 17th Century strongly implies a recusant connection -- an inference backed up by the unabashedly Catholic nature of the quoted sources, including 'The admirable life of St Lidwina virgin taken out of that w[hi]ch was written by John Brugmauns a Franciscan Friar', as well as two lives drawn from works by 'Card[inal] Baromiis [?]'. By far the most extensive lives are those of Elizabeth of Hungary (30 pages) and Catherine of Sienna (47 pages).
