Author/Title: | Birgitta, Revelationes |
Type of evidence: | d: evidence of dicta probatoria, usually a secundo folio |
Notes on evidence: | The second folio agrees with the copy listed in Betson's catalogue, but there is no other evidence to tie the book to Syon. There is an English ownership inscription at the end of the book for John Rolygh, and yet the donor to Syon was Thomas Fishbourn, who died in 1428. 'The balance of probability is perhaps against this book's having been at Syon' (Gillespie, Syon Abbey, p. 241). |
