Abstract :
This article presents research on a newly-discovered Dutch prayer book from the University Library of the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, MS. 2626. Research on the manuscript is placed in context by way of a brief survey of the state of research on Dutch prayer books in Poland’s libraries. An inventory of such manuscripts, based on the most recent sources, is provided in the article. After a brief survey of the contents of in MS. 2626 the focus shifts to the text of the Hundred articles of Henry Suso conveyed in this prayer book. This redaction is identified as a South-Netherlandish adaptation. Because its prologue contains elements akin to to the Middle Dutch translation of Willem Jordaens’ Latin version of the Hunderd articles, one may speak of the Lublin redaction as an example of the 'cross-pollination' (a term used by José van Aelst) between various textual versions of the Hundred articles.
