Dear Jussi,
Thanks for filling me in! The various attributions which I had noted include
Eckbert of Schoenau and Ernold of Bonneval, but having taken all this from
second hand and never having seen the text(s) myself I am not sure whether
these attributions refer to the Pseudo-Bonaventurian or rather to the
Pseudo-Bernardian _Meditationes_ (always assuming that these are two
different texts). In my earlier message I forgot to cite an edition of the
first:
RAGUSA/GREEN
[Pseudo-Bonaventura] Meditations on the Life of Christ, ed.
Isa Ragusa / Rosalie Green, tr. Isa Ragusa, Princeton:
Princeton UP, 1961
Yours,
Otfried
