Synopsis

An edition of two previously unprinted Wycliffite texts, the first also circulating in a shorter version, here printed in parallel with the longer version. The texts are the work of a single anonymous academic follower of John Wyclif, written c. 1400-1414. The two longer works consist of an extended sermon on ecclesiastical temporalities and a tract defending Wycliffite views of the Eucharist. The new edition includes full discussion of the texts' historical context, including evidence for the author's possible identity, commentary, and glossary. The texts are of particular interest in showing the extent to which Wycliffite writers attempted to transfer into English complex theological ideas, previously available only in Latin.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

This is a substantial and important addition to the long shelf of Wycliffite editions that Hudson has been building, and scholars will be grateful to her for it for many years to come. (Medium Ævum)

Hudson's editorial work is characteristically precise: the commentary is generously informative on a range of topics. (Medium Ævum)

The importance of this volume is that three major texts have now been added to the reliably-edited portion of the Wycliffite canon. (Parergon)
