| Summary: | John Clark's editorial work on the writings of Dom Augustine Baker (1575–1641) continues apace, with the first printed edition of Vox Clamantis in Deserto Animae. This work was written by Baker for the English Benedictine nuns of Cambrai, prior to leaving the convent: he acted as the nuns’ chaplain from 1624 to 1633. Clark has utilized four seventeenth-century copies of the text, manuscripts containing extracts, and later transcriptions, though his edition is based primarily on Downside Abbey MS 26602, which Abbot Justin McCann dated c.1650. Although this is not the earliest copy of Vox Clamantis, great care was made in copying it from the lost original, and it conforms with other seventeenth-century copies. |
