1910. Capgrave, learned traveler and friar of Lynn in Norfolk, was
an indefatigable student, and reputed to be the best known man of
letters of his time. His reputation came from the greater part of
his works which are theological: sermons, commentaries and lives of
saints. A noble gentlewoman begged Capgrave to write St. Augustine
for her; St. Gilbert was translated in the same form, save some
additions, at the prayer of Nicholas Reysby, Master of the order of
St. Gilbert and designed for the anchoresses of that order.
Capgrave appends a translated summary of his sermon on the various
Augustinian orders, preached in Cambridge, 1422, but revised later,
for Reysby and others who wished to know diffusely of the subject.
