Welcome to medieval-religion.
I would be particularly interested in anything you might have on Rabbi David
Kimhi, whom I find Cardinal Adam Easton to have owned in manuscript and
read, Easton, himself a Norwich Benedictine teaching Hebrew at Oxford,
having been associated with Julian of Norwich.

Also in this marvellous example I have teaching within me, as it were the
beginning of an .A.B.C. whereby I may have some understanding of our Lord's
meaning.
