“Je ke la vie ai translatee
Par nun sui Climence numee,
De Berekinge sui nunain;
Par s’amur pris ceste oevre en main.”

[802] There does exist a catalogue of Syon library, but unluckily it is that of the brothers’ library and the catalogue of the sisters’ library is missing; it was probably a good one since we have notice of several books written for them. See M. Bateson, Cat. of the Lib. of Syon Mon. (1898). Only three continental library catalogues survive, of which two are printed and accessible; one is of the library of the Dominican nuns of Nuremberg, made between 1456-69 and containing 350 books, the other belonged to the Franciscan tertiaries of Delft in the second half of the fifteenth century and contained 109 books; the third comes from the women’s cloister at Wonnenstein in 1498. See M. Deanesly, The Lollard Bible, pp. 110-5.
