On the question of authorship of the <i>Little Book of Love</i> (<i>Minnebüchlein</i>) in the light of its Latin version
The most recent research on the complete Latin version of the Middle German Little Book of Love ( Minnebüchlein , assumedly attributed by K. Bihlmayer to German Dominican friar Henry Suso), transmitted under the title Libellus caritatis and discovered in the manuscript Moscow, Russian State Library, Fonds 201, Ms. 33, ff. 1v-15r, leads the author of this article to the conclusion that the German version, preserved only in one manuscript (Zürich, Zentralbibliothek, Ms. C 96, ff. 63v-75r), is most likely a translation from Latin, and both versions can hardly be considered as composed before the end of the fourteenth century, i.e. they are, rather than Henry Suso’s original works, later compilations that used excerpts from his texts.
