So a slightly variant text to Harley 2253 was available to him.There's an interesting paper on the connection between the text and Dominican thought on academia.edu:CheersRob

During the last months, I have been working on an article on blood devotion in early modern Italy. One of my case studies involves a vision/prophecy where people convert to Christianity by bathing into the blood of Christ. I was wondering if it is a consistent topos in medieval Christianity, and if so, if you ever encountered a similar case.Thank you very much in advance!All the best,Marco
