Concerning the institution of this Rosary, there was a book set forth, about the year 1480. §1480In the beginning whereof it is declared,1 that the blessed virgin entered into the Cell of Alanus, and was so familiar with him, that she did there espouse him for her husband, and kissed him with her heavenly mouth: opened unto him her Paps, and poured great plenty of her own milk into his mouth. For the confirmation whereof, the said Alanus did swear deeply, ⟨p. 391⟩cursing himself, if it were not, thus as he had made relation. This book being in Latin, & printed, beareth this title: Rosareae Augustissimae Christiferae Mariae Corona. And in the front it showeth the name of Jodocus Bisselenis, a noble man of Aquine.
