'COLECTIONS'
AN
ENGLISH NUN IN EXILE
Birgitta at Prayer, Revelationes , Ghotan:
Lübeck, 1492
aris,
Bibliothèque Mazarine 1202, is a small
manuscript, titled 'Colections',
finished 23 July 1724, written by an
English Benedictine
nun in exile of the Paris Abbey
of Our Lady of Good Hope, today St
Mary's Abbey, Colwich. Its writer does
not give her name, but cites her
sources for her contemplations. Her
Abbey possessed two, perhaps more,
manuscripts of Julian of Norwich,
among them the medieval exemplar
manuscripts for the seventeenth
century British Library Sloane and
Stowe transcriptions. Some of these
entries in 'Colections' clearly
reflect a reading, and a memory, of
Julian of Norwich's Showing.
The entirety of the 'Colections' so
much deserved complete transcription
and publication. But I only had time,
while transcribing and collating the
Julian, Showing of Love,
Manuscript in the Paris, Bibliothèque
Nationale, to jot down these entries.
Then I purchased its microfilm to
transcribe the whole. This fascinating
text is now published as 'Colections'
by an English Nun in Exile:
Bibliothèque Mazarine 1202 in
Professor James Hogg's University of
Salzburg series, Analecta Cartusiana
119:26. The Catalogue at the
Bibliothèque Mazarine, because its
title page has a pasted engraving of a
male Benedictine at prayer,
contemptuously speaks of the text as
written by a superstitious monk!
This fine manuscript has now
been completely transcribed and may be found at:

of Foligno

certain time while I pray'd in my
Cell, these words were sayd
unto
me interiorly by God.
Pp. 21-22
Fenelon, Bishop of Cambrai
{ Reflect
that you carry the gift of God in an
earthern vessel.
P.23
{ O my
beginning, when shall I return to thee
and putting off whatsoever
I
have been formerly, be transformed
into thee.
P. 296
{ Take my
self and all and give me that one in
which is all things.
P. 296
{ O let my
Creator come into his tabernacle and
temple, where he may
remain
Lord and king.
P. 296
{ My God I
consecrate myself to you alone, for
the whole remnant of my life,
to
persue the exercises of an internal
life: leaving the fruit and success of
my
endeavours to your holy will.
P. 303
{ She
speaks of 'desolations, obscurity of
mind, & deadness of affections'.
P. 304
{ I doe
renounce solicitude to please others;
or to gain the affections of any to
myself.
P. 304
{ Oh that I
had kept inviolately the faith I
promised you on my profession day when
in
the presence of angells and men, of
the whole triumphant or militant
church,
in
the sight of celestial, or terestials
I was solemnly espoused to you my God.
P. 333
{ O
eternall God, who hast loved me from
all eternity, I am resolved to love
you
the
short time which remains of my life,
to the end I may love you for all
eternity.
P. 363
{ Jesus, my
God, when shall I become a holocaust
of love to you, who made your
soul
an offering for sin, for my salvation.
P. 366
{ Foolish
is that Religious who having broken
the chains of gold and silver
which
make so many captives in the world,
lets herself be bound in Religion
with
threads of flax, I mean with toys, or
things of nothing.

{ The Angel

to have been silent, said
St
Arsenius
P. 382
St Arsenius's advice also
occurs in the translation of the
excerpt from Henry
Suso's Horologium Sapientiae
, British Library Amherst Manuscript,
Additional 37,790 (which contains as
well Marguerite
Porete's Mirror of Simple Souls
Julian of Norwich's Showings, and

More , Thomas More's descendant
and foundress of the English
Benedictine Abbey of Our Lady of
Consolation in Cambrai (today
Stanbrook Abbey), the mother house to
the Abbey of Our Lady of Good Hope in
Paris (today St Mary's Abbey,
Colwich), likewise wrote, 'I will now
take thy advice given me to fly, be
silent, and quiet, and I will hourly
come to learn the song of love and
praise of Thee', which the editor, Dom
Benedict Weld-Blundell, footnotes in '
The Writings of Dame Gertrude More',
1910, p. 56, as 'words spoken from
heaven to St Arsenius'. Her sister,
Dame Bridget More, copied out Dame Margaret
Gascoigne writing on Dame Julian
of Norwich's Showings.
