Het lijdensverhaal uit het middelnederlandse Leven van Jezus: Kritische editie van een veertiende-eeuwse passieharmonie uit Rooklooster (hs. Parijs, Bibliothèque Mazarine, 920)

In this article excerpts from the Life of Jesus are edited and commented upon. The edition mainly comprises one of the oldest (1325-1350) and most extensive Middle Dutch passion harmonies. This passion harmony is preserved in MS. Paris, Bibliothèque Mazarine, 920, fols. 126v-144v. The Paris manuscript offers a broad selection of religious texts, including texts of Ruusbroec, Hadewijch and Hugo of Saint-Victor. Whereas this Paris convolute dates from the 15th century, the edited excerpts are part of a production unit of this convolute dating from the 14th century. This production unit originally functioned as a separate manuscript and is seen as concrete example of the literary traffic between religiously kindred spirits ('Godsvrienden') in Brabant and the Upper Rhine
