From dealer's description: The personal spiritual miscellany of a seventeenth century nun. The treatise on the habit that opens this miscellany makes it clear that the compiler was female, and several other of the texts in the volume also use the feminine pronoun. The final tract, "How we are to practis our holy rule according to perfection", includes several specific references to St Augustine as the founder of the order. Given that this manuscript was acquired by Thomas Phillipps in Brussels, it probably originated in the Low Countries, where Augustinian communities included the English Augustinian Convent in Bruges
