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.

1893. With forewords by F.J. Furnivall. 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. John
Capgrave's life of Saint Katherine of Alexandria belongs to the
most popular genre of medieval narrative: hagiography, or writings
about the saints. It tells the story of Katherine of Alexandria who
portrays a young woman in Egypt in the early fourth century, and
when required to offer sacrifice to the Roman gods, protesting to
the Emperor Maxentius that he cease his idolatry and persecution of
the Christians, and turn instead to the one true God. His version
of Katherine's story is counted among the richest in the genre. See
