Jean, many thanks for your help, and especially for pointing out the RI-OPAC again; I must get into the habit of using it regularly. Frans, unless I'm mistaken John is correct in suggesting that Ludolph's Vita Christi is not the same work as the pseudo-Bonaventurian Meditationes vitae Christi now attributed to Iohannes de Caulibus. As far as I'm aware there are no authorship issues with Ludolph's Vita, although there are some doubts about other works attributed to him (cf. Baier's article in DSp 9:1130 ff.). -- Paul

I'm out of my depth here, but as I understand it, the Meditations on the Life of Christ edited by Ragusa and Green under the name of Bonaventure is now also attributed to Iohannis de Caulibus (the Francisacan Giovanni de' Cauli). So are the Vita Christi attributed to Ludolph and the Meditationes Vitae Christi once attributed to Bonaventure the same work or two versions of one work now attributed to Giovanni? There are over 200 surviving mss of the pseudo-Bonaventure version according to Ragusa and Green, and it was sometimes circulated in excerpts (the Passion narrative in it, for instance). I'm confused.

Best,
John

Paul:

I though this was recent, but when I looked at it, it was in fact largely a
reprint of a 1944 dissertation: Hogg, James, Alain Girard, and Daniel Le
Blévec, eds. Ludolpus the Carthusian, Vita Christi. Introductory Volume.
Analecta Cartusiana, 241. Salzburg: Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik,
2007.

Which reprints the following: Bodenstedt, Mary Immaculate. The Vita Christi of
Ludolphus the Carthusian. Studies in Medieval and Renaissance Latin Language
and Literature, 16. Washington: Catholic University of America Press, 1944.

The Vita christi, no longer attributed to Ludolf, is edited: Stallings-Taney,
M., ed. Iohannis de Caulibus Meditaciones vite Christi: olim S. Bonaventuro
attributae. Corpus Christianorum. Turnholti: Brepols, 1997.

I also found a translation of the Vita: Bonaventure, Saint. Meditations on the
life of Christ ; an illustrated manuscript of the fourteenth century. Paris,
Bibliothèque nationale, Ms. Ital., 115. Edited by Isa Ragusa and Rosalie B.
Green. Translated by Isa Ragusa. Princeton University. Department of Art and
Archaeology. Princeton monographs in art and archaeology. Princeton: N.J.,
Princeton University Press, 1961.

Not exactly recent, but I hope it's useful,

Does anyone know of recent work on Ludolph of Saxony, O.Cart., d. 1378,
whose *Vita Christi* was so popular in the late Middle Ages and supposedly
a great influence on Ignatius Loyola? I can't find much recent bibliography
but list members may perhaps know of things that have escaped me.

Many thanks in advance. -- Paul
