Formula compendiose vite by Henry Suso (part of his Horologium sapientiae)
Scope and Contents
This section contains 'Formula compendiose vite'. It appears to be two different texts. From the beginning the third chapter on f. 232r 'Memini me in diebus vanitatis mee' to 'via planissima vite perfectioris audienti prebatur, omni difficultate remota.' on f. 235r, it matches the third chapter of Henry Suso's Horologium sapientiae, Formula compendiose vite spiritualis. The text following immediately after, written in the same hand, starts with 'Ultra flumina Ethyopie, inde supplices mei, Sophonie 3o', seems to be an extract of, or a commentary on the Book of Zephaniah.
