Nicholas Love (?-c. 1424) was prior of the Carthusian house of Mount Grace in Yorkshire, and translated the Meditationes Vitae Christi (attributed to St. Bonaventure) into English as The Mirror of the Blessed Life of Jesus Christ. Around the year 1410, he submitted his translation to Thomas Arundel, Archbishop of Canterbury, in conformity with the strictures of the Lambeth Constitutions of 1407-09, which forbade any new translations of biblical material in any form, unless that translation was submitted to the local bishop for approval. The archbishop took this action in an attempt to stop the circulation of the Wycliffite translation of the bible into English, and other heretical Wycliffite (Lollard) writings; Love's translation in fact includes a number of major additions to the original
