Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
The present work seeks to trace the history of the different movements for reform in the system and in the doctrine of the Catholic Church, which occupy a prominent place in the interest and significance of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Except so far as it deals with the life and writings of Wyclifle and with the controversial literature of the age preceding his, it makes no pretension, to original treatment. In the earlier chapters I have been permitted to embody the substance of several passages in my Illustrations of the History of Medieval Thought published in 1884 by the liberality of the Hibbert Trustees; and in the latter part of the book I am under large obligations to the works of Professors Creighton, Loserth, and Maurenbrecher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the emergence of movements in the fourteenth and fteenth centuries that challenged the Catholic Church's authority and doctrine. These movements sought to reform both the oppressive governance and dogma of the Church, with some even questioning the primacy of the Pope. The author, a leading historian, traces the roots of these movements to the political and intellectual climate of the time, showing how they reflected the growing spirit of nationalism and the questioning of traditional authority. The book's discussion of the key figures of this period, such as John Wycliffe and Marsiglio of Padua, offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives and ideas of these courageous individuals who dared to stand up to the powerful Church hierarchy. Ultimately, the book sheds light on the profound impact that these movements had on the Church and society, and how their legacy lives on in the religious landscape of today.
