The Tretyse of þe Seven Poyntes of Trewe Love and Everlastynge Wisdame, translated from the Latin Horologium Sapientiae; see the edition of K. Horstmann, 'Orologium Sapientiae or the Seven Poyntes of Trewe Wisdom aus MS. Douce 114', Anglia, 10 (1888), 323-389, from Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Douce 114 (announced variant readings from Caxton never published). W. Wichgraf, 'Susos Horologium Sapientiae in England nach Handschriften des 15. Jahrhunderts', Anglia, 53 (1929), 123-,33, 269-287, 345-373, and ibid. 54 (1930), 351-352, identifies the Latin origin of the text in Henry Suso's Horologium Sapientiae, comments on Horstmann's edition and lists five manuscripts of the complete English text, excluding ours, together with manuscripts in which chapters 4 and 5 each appear on their own; see also W. Wichgraf, 'Susos Horologium Sapientiae in England nach Mss des 15. Jahrhunderts', Archiv für neueren Sprachen und literaturen, 169 (1936), 176-181, which includes discussion of MS Cambrai 255.
The Latin colophon on f. 90, referring to Mount Grace, is probably derivative; it appears at the end of the same text in MS Cambrai 255 (see Catalogue générale des manuscrits des bibliothèques publiques de France, vol. 17 (Paris, 1891), p. 88; cf. N. R. Ker, Medieval Libraries of Great Britain (London, 1964) and Andrew G. Watson, Medieval Libraries of Great Britain: Supplement to the Second Edition (London, 1987), Mount Grace). Written by a single hand, in good anglicana formata. Brown ink. Parti-coloured red/blue 7-line initials on ff. 1 verso and 8, accompanied by red and purple penwork and by red/blue nerfs and flourished borders; on f. 1 and elsewhere for chapter-openings, 3-line blue initials with red penwork (4-line for 'I' on f. 41 verso); headings and sidenotes in red, alternate red and blue paragraph marks.
