Vita Chrysty is a sixteenth-century English translation of Ludolph of Saxony's Vita Christi from the second half of the fourteenth century. The original text by Ludolph of Saxony includes a biography of Christ, as well as moral and spiritual instruction and prayers. In this, Ludolph combined the work from over sixty earlier Christian writers. The influence and popularity of Ludolph of Saxony's original text is demonstrated by the large number of surviving manuscript copies and later translations, such as this sixteenth-century English version. This particular manuscript seems to have been originally part of a larger volume, joined with BL MS Additional 16609 of the British Library, although much is missing of the original from which these two manuscripts were part. MS 22 is in fact only a section of the full Vita Christi by Ludolph of Saxony, titled The Secunde Volume of Vita Crysty in Englishe in the manuscript.

A good English hand of the sixteenth century, with ornamental initials, but no colour in the volume.
