About this book
The Chronicle of the Canons Regular of Mount St. Agnes is credited to Thomas à Kempis. Among others, the contents list names chapters on the first founders of the Monastery at Mount St. Agnes and on the building of the first House on Mount St. Agnes. The chronicle says that the venerable Master Gerard Groote came to Zwolle about the beginning of Lent, and that a very great company of people came together to his preaching.
The record for the year of the Lord 1456 notes the death of that fervent lover of discipline, Brother William Coman, who was born in Amsterdam, in Holland. The chronicler writes "we lost above an hundred florins by the drowning of the horses" and also that peace and concord were restored between the Duke and the cities and people of this land. A chapter headed "How the Sisters were examined" says Master Henry de Gorinchem was sent to enquire into the charge of the false preacher aforesaid.
