Footnotes:

[5] Benjamin Minor, cap. 73.

[6] Benjamin Minor, cap. 75.  Cf.  Shelley, The Triumph of Life:  “Their lore taught them not this:  to know themselves.”  This passage of Richard is curiously misquoted and its meaning perverted in Haureau, Histoire de la Philosophie Scolastique, i. pp. 513, 514, in the Dictionary of National Biography, vol. xvi., and elsewhere.

[16] In the British Museum copy of Pepwell’s volume, ff. 1-2 of the Epistle of Prayer and f. 1 of the Song of Angels are transposed.

[20] All in Harl.  Ms. 674, and other MSS.  The Divine Cloud of Unknowing, and portions of the Epistle, Book, or Treatise, of Privy Counsel have been printed, in a very unsatisfactory manner, in The Divine Cloud with notes and a Preface by Father Augustine Baker, O.S.B.  Edited by Henry Collins.  London, 1871.

[21] D. M. M’Intyre, The Cloud of Unknowing, in the Expositor, series vii. vol. 4 (1907).  Dr. Rufus M. Jones, Studies in Mystical Religion, p. 336, regards these treatises as the work of “a school of mystics gathered about the writer of the Hid Divinity.”  Neither of these authors includes the translation of the Benjamin Minor, which, however, appears to me undoubtedly from the same hand as that of the Divine Cloud.
