Devotion to the Name of Jesus in Medieval English Literature, c. 1100–c. 1530
For more than two decades, Denis Renevey has been tracing the various uses of—and forms of devotion to—the Holy Name of Jesus in the religious literature of later medieval England.1 Elaborating on the biblical notion that the Name itself should be reverenced (cf. especially Phil. 2.10: “At the name of Jesus, every knee should bow”), later medieval writers treated the Name as a mantra-like focus of meditation and prayer, as a kind of spiritual med…
Balaam's Ass
Sometime in the final decades of the fourteenth century, seeking to explain why he is willing to “write of suche highe matiers” and, despite all its difficulties, to set out “in any maner vulgare the termes of divinite,” the author of the Chastising of God's Children cites the precedent of “the prophet Balaam.” As recorded in the book of Numbers, God grows angry with Balaam when he rides forth, against God's will, in the company of Moabites. God …
Hermit Libraries
Where and how did an avowedly peripatetic hermit, without formal ties to a religious order or other ecclesiastical institution, read books? While earlier studies of Richard Rolle have done crucial work identifying many of his major sources, this essay takes up the question of the conditions under which the Hermit of Hampole read, and the importance of those conditions for the creation of his texts. Focusing especially on his Latin prose, I argue …

Middle English Manuscripts and Their Legacies
As a collection of essays in honor of the great English manuscripts scholar Ian Doyle (1925–2018), this volume joins two earlier offerings, Late-Medieval Religious Texts and Their Transmission (1994) and New Science Out of Old Books (1995).1 Beautifully produced, edited with evident care, and generously illustrated with color reproductions, this additional tribute reflects Doyle’s critical importance to Middle English studies in the decades follo…
The Latin Translation of Richard Rolle’s Form of Living in Cambridge, Gonville and Caius College, MS 140/80
Form of Living is one of the major works of the earliest of the Middle English mystics, the Yorkshire hermit Richard Rolle (d. 1349), and one clear sign of its success is its translation from English into Latin. This essay presents the first edition of the full(ish) Latin translation of Form, preserved uniquely in Cambridge, Gonville and Caius College, MS 140/80, noting the translator’s additions to the text and demonstrating that he worked from …

Rolle Reassembled
The assignment of value to manuscripts on the basis of their antiquity—that is, the notion that books written at a greater distance from the present were therefore more deserving of attention—reflects a sensibility more commonly associated with early modern collectors than with medieval scribes. Malcolm Parkes, for example, though describing many instances of archaizing hands in medieval manuscripts, tends to see these as pragmatic efforts driven…
Thinking across tongues
Chaucer's Bibles
The use of the Bible in fourteenth-century English secular literature has been surprisingly neglected in the last two decades, largely in response to postwar scholarship carried out under the banner of Robertsonianism and championing allegorical modes of interpretation. Robertsonian exegetics remains (as Lee Patterson said) the “great unfinished business” of medieval literary studies. This essay argues for the rejection of Robertsonianism as an i…
The Medieval Bible as Literature
The Manuscript Tradition of Richard Ullerston’s Expositio canticorum Scripturae
Though they are largely unedited and unstudied, several important biblical commentaries survive from late fourteenth- and early fifteenth-century Oxford. Among these is the gloss on the ferial canticles by Richard Ullerston, an Oxford theologian and influential ecclesiast in Chichele’s Church. The present essay offers an account of the manuscripts of this commentary, suggests how the text might be related to the lectures on the Psalms delivered b…
