Fasciculus mirre is a Germanic devotional book that was popular in the Low Countries during the first half of the sixteenth century. The text contains meditations on the life of Jesus Christ, most notably the Passion.[1][2] Its Latin title (meaning "a bundle of myrrh" in English)[3] comes from the first chapter of Canticum Canticorum: "Fasciculus Myrrhae dilectus meus mihi inter ubera mea commorabituris."[4] Fasciculus mirre is often sometimes spelled as Fasciculus myrre, or myrrhæ, and can also be referred to by an English title, On the Life of Christ.[5] The earliest known printed version dates to approximately 1500 CE in the Dutch city of Delft.[6]
