After being composed by Pietro di Monterubbiano in late 1325 and early 1326, the Vita Nicolai (BHL 6232) circulated in other forms and different versions (BHL 6230- 35). A first attempt to reorder the dossier of Nicholas of Tolentino was made by the Biblioteca Hagiographica Latina. The purpose of this article is to provide some clarifications on the different drafts and their manuscript witnesses. In particular, Bonino Mombrizio’s epitome (BHL 6230) and the 15th-century compilations of Hermann Greven (BHL 6235) and John Gielemans (BHL 6230) will be considered. With regard to Greven’s and Gilemans’ versions, their independence from other fourteenth- and fifteenth-century epitomes will be emphasized and their similarities highlighted, which, however, are not sufficient to prove a common origin of the two texts. The essay also submit the edition of the Vita Nicolai in the Legendarium Berolinense and Legendarium Darmutiense (by Hermann Greven), as well as the Vita Nicolai in the Sanctilogium and Novale Sanctorum (by Iohannes Gielemans). A description of the manuscripts of Gielemans’ collectio is given in the appendix.
