Wyclif's ideas caused a major upheaval both in the country of his
birth and in the Bohemian area of central Europe; that upheaval
affected theological, ecclesiastical and political developments
from the late 14th to the early 16th centuries. Some of those ideas
were transmitted orally through Wyclif's university teaching in
Oxford, and in his preaching in London and Lutterworth, but the
main medium through which his message was disseminated was the
written word, using the universal western language of Latin. The
papers in this collection look at aspects of that dissemination,
from the organization and revision of Wyclif's works to form a
summa of his ideas, the techniques devised to identify and make
accessible his multifarious writings, the attempts of the orthodox
clerical establishment to destroy them, through to the fortunes of
his texts in the Reformation period; manuscripts written in England
and those copied abroad, mostly in Bohemia, are considered.
Although most of the papers have been published previously, a new
edition of the important Hussite catalogue of Wyclif's writings is
provided, and three lengthy sections contribute new material and
additions and corrections to previous listings of Wyclif
manuscripts.
