Devota gra[ciarum] actio p[er] o[mn]i[bus] dolorib[us] quos pius d[omi]n[us] ih[esu]s pro nob[is] sustinuit cu[m] salutacionib[us] et orationibus ad singula membra eius

A miscellany of devotional prayers and meditations on the Passion and the Virgin, written in the Netherlands, perhaps Utrecht, in the mid-fifteenth century. The inclusion among the prayers at the end of the manuscript of Saints Jerome, Paula, Eustochium, Hugh Bishop of Grenoble and Hugh of Lincoln suggests Carthusian use. This is supported by the ca. 15th-century signature of one Gerard of the Carthusian abbey of Mont-St-Gertrude near Utrecht, who bought the book from Hendrik Herp (here "Henricus Erpensis") (1410-1477 or 78), a well-known mystic and theologian associated with the Brethren of the Common Life (f. iii verso): "Gerardus Francisci a Monte S. Gertrudis emit hunc libellum ab Henrico Erpensis."
