Chapter of Sion, with only a few others; two of which were St. Mary"s at Sion, near Delft, to which his brother Peter belonged, and St. Michael"s at Hem, near Schoonhoven. The fame of Windesheim spread into France. In two successive years--1496, 7--parties were invited thence to reform French Benedictine houses.

Chapter Library at St. Paul"s; for later on, when the book was in the press, he returned from Basle to England to consult the ma.n.u.scripts again, and there is no reason to suppose that during his brief stay--not a full month--he went outside London. If this surmise were correct, the destruction of St. Paul"s library in the fires of 1561 and 1666 would explain why so little has been discovered about the ma.n.u.scripts which Erasmus had for his Jerome. He himself, in his prefaces, gives little indication of them, beyond saying that they were very old and mutilated, and that some of them were written in Lombardic and Gothic characters. Perhaps some day a student of Jerome will arise who will be able to throw light on the matter from examination of the text at which Erasmus arrived.
Chapter Library of St. Paul"s, and provided a copyist to write out the fruits of his labours, a one-eyed Brabantine, Peter Meghen by name, who acted also as Colet"s private letter-carrier. Meghen wrote a bold, well-marked hand, which is easily recognizable, and in consequence his work has been traced in many libraries. The British Museum has a treatise of Chrysostom, translated by Selling, and written by Meghen for Urswick, afterwards Dean of Windsor and Rector of Hackney, to present to Prior Goldstone of Canterbury. (Urswick was frequently sent on emba.s.sies, and had doubtless enjoyed the hospitality of Christchurch on his way between London and Dover.) At Wells there are a Psalter and a translation of Chrysostom on St. Matthew, which Urswick, as executor to Sir John Huddelston, knight, caused Meghen to write in 1514 for presentation to the Cistercians of Hailes, in Gloucestershire. The Bodleian has a treatise written by him in 1528 for Nicholas Kratzer to present to Henry VIII; and Wolsey"s Lectionary at Christ Church, Oxford, is probably in Meghen"s hand.
