Drawing extensively on unpublished manuscript sources, this study
uncovers the culture of experimentation that surrounded biblical
exegesis in fourteenth-century England. In an area ripe for
revision, Andrew Kraebel challenges the accepted theory (inherited
from Reformation writers) that medieval English Bible translations
represent a proto-Protestant rejection of scholastic modes of
interpretation. Instead, he argues that early translators were
themselves part of a larger scholastic interpretive tradition, and
that they tried to make that tradition available to a broader
audience. Translation was thus one among many ways that English
exegetes experimented with the possibilities of commentary. With a
wide scope, the book focuses on works by writers from the heretic
John Wyclif to the hermit Richard Rolle, alongside a host of
lesser-known authors, including Henry Cossey and Nicholas Trevet,
and many anonymous texts. The study provides new insight into the
ingenuity of medieval interpreters willing to develop new
literary-critical methods and embrace intellectual risks.
