CRISIPPUS. Jerome mentions this writer in his Epistola adversus Jovinianum (Letter Against Jovinian) I.48 (PL 23: 280). G.L. Hamilton suggests that Chaucer means the Stoic philosopher Crysippus, whom Cicero criticizes in De divinatione.
Alys of Bath says that one of Crisippus's works was bound up in Jankyn's "Book of Wikked Wyves," WBP 677. [Alisoun3: Jankyn2: Jerome: Jovinian: Tertulan: Trotula]
