On Netter as well see Jeremy Catto's essay in _The History of the University
of Oxford_, vol. 2.
The manuscript was also once owned by John Bale, who got the book after
leaving the Carmelites. In the _Dated and Dateable Mss in Oxford
Libraries_, the entry discusses this a bit. Neil Ker in his _Medieval
Libraries of Grate Britain_ also notes that the carmelite convent at Norwich
owned it once. It si MS e Musaeo 86 in the Bodleian.
The FZ is A major document for the history of the Wycliffite movement. From
that angle rather than the Carmelite one see the _Journal of Ecclesiastical
History_ vol. 12; Anne Hudson edits an english version of the examination of
Thorpe (a latin version is in the ms) in her English Wycliffite Writings. I
would also look in her _Premature Reformation_, as well as in Margaret
Aston's work (_Lollards and Reformers_, maybe).
Note that only a part of the whole ms is edited in the Rolls series volume.
hope this isn't stuff you already know!
