_Aue Trici and Gheeze Ysenoudi_ (Vol. i., pp. 215. 267.).--These two
nuns belonged to the convent of St. Margaret at Gouda. In 1714 there
still existed in the library of that city a book entitled _Coll==tarius_
(Commentarius) _supra Psalmos_.[2] This work, written by Peter Por of
Floref, and dedicated to John of Arckel, bishop of Utrecht, was
transcribed on parchment in the year 1454 by seven nuns of the above
convent, these were:
Maria Joannis,
_Geza Yzenoude_,
_Aua Trici_,
Jacoba Gerardi,
Agatha Nicolai,
Maria Martini,
en Maria Gerardi.
[Footnote 2: Sic in MSS. Legendumne co[=m]tarius?]
On the back of the MS. is a list of the books belonging to the convent:
these were then seventy in number.
Lambertus Wilhelmi, a monk of Sion Abbey, and director of these nuns,
composed in the year 1452 a _History of the Convent of St. Margaret at
Gouda_, by order of its superintendent, Heymanus Florentii, a monk of
'S. Gravezande. This convent was burnt in 1572 by one of Lumey's
captains, Hans Aulterman, who for his many crimes was condemned on the
11th of April, 1573, and burnt alive at the gates of Gouda.
The Nicholas de Wit mentioned in the Query was prior of the monastery of
St. Michael, near Schoonhoven. (See further T. Walvisch, _Beschrÿving
van Gouda_, II. pp. 123-172.)
