Summary
The name of this Oxford Franciscan, of whom very little is known (but see below), is connected with six sermons that have been preserved in several manuscripts in a complicated relationship:
Christus passus est vobis relinquens exemplum (?),
Corruit in platea veritas,
Mundus crucifixus est,
Percussa est tertia pars,
Quare rubrum est indumentum tuum,
Revertar in domum meam unde exivi(?).
As already mentioned, MS Balliol 149 contains two sermons that are marginally ascribed in the text hand to “Chambron.” The first is Quare rubrum est indumentum tuum? (Isaiah 63:2; S-20) with the rubric “Sermo chambron in die parasch” (f. 84). It is a long, complex sermon on Good Friday and, judging by its relatively wide attestation in our period, evidently enjoyed great popularity. It also has a baffling textual history, for the Balliol manuscript itself contains a second version of it, S-19, which includes all of S-20, though with some important differences, and then adds a further development of the same thema, with a new division. This could of course mean that in S-19 the version of S-20 was expanded, or that perhaps a different sermon on the same thema was erroneously linked to the existing text of S-20. But there are several reasons to believe that, conversely, the shorter form S-20 is a redaction of the longer, more sprawling S-19, the most immediate being that in the Balliol manuscript the text of S-20 has been visibly corrected in light of S-19.
