There is a very good article that covers both the early background on discernment of prophecy (telling the true from the false) as well as attitudes toward prophetic voices in ninth century exegesis: M.A. Mayeski, '"Let Women not Despair": Rabanus Maurus on Women as Prophets' (<i>Theological Studies</i> 58 (1997) 237-53. Obviously that's too early for the specifics of the 14th century but I certainly found it useful in laying a foundation to understand the various streams of interpretation that might have come down to influence twelfth-century attitudes for a short study I was doing of Rupert of Deutz and St Hildegard of Bingen. The _Scriptural_ loci classici for prophetic discernment remained, I am sure, Dt 18 and the letters of St Paul.
