University of Cambridge.
Career
He flourished about 1420. He died in Norwich, where he had lived for many years. Alan of Lynn was a most laborious writer, and left a multitude of books that were the fruits of his pen.
But they seem to have been more remarkable for their number, than for any interest they are at present calculated to excite on the part of lay readers.
He followed the taste which was common in his age, of expounding scripture allegorically. But he has been praised for his general method of treating theological subjects, and particularly for his diligence in making indexes.
