An edition of four previously unpublished heretical dialogues in
Middle English, translated or adapted from Wycliffite sources
composed circa 1380-1420. These previously unpublished prose
treatises, cast as fictional dialogues, all survive in the form of
single manuscripts, probably by different authors, but they cohere
in their ideological outlook, subject matter, and debate form. The
Dialogue between Jon and Richard concerns the four orders of
friars; the Dialogue between a Friar and a Secular claims to be the
written record of an oral debate that took place before a Lord Duke
of Gloucester, and invites the lord to judge the two disputants:
the friar offers a series of tendentious propositions on salvation,
sin, and mendicancy, rebutted by the secular priest. The Dialogue
between Reson and Gabbyng is a free translation and adaptation of
the first twelve chapters of Wyclif's Dialogus (Speculum ecclesie
militantis). The Dialogue between a Clerk and a Knight stages a
conflict between papal and imperial, or regal, power, insisting on
the rights of the king and his lords to remove the goods of corrupt
clergy from England. These dialogues provide a comprehensive
introduction to Wycliffite belief, and arguments on a range of
controversial topics. The edition includes an introduction,
detailed explanatory notes, and a glossary.
