This volume, along with Volume V, completes the edition of the long English Wycliffite sermon cycle with a review of evidence concerning its date, authorship, background and audience, a survey of the polemical issues discussed in it, and an extensive commentary on the text, continued in Volume V.
This second volume of English Wycliffite sermons is an edition of
the sermons for the Proper and Common of Saints together with two
Wycliffite tracts. It is intended to be used with close reference
to Volume 1, comprising the sermons on Sunday Epistles and Gospels,
which appeared in 1983. The sermons form part of a complete sermon
cycle preserved in part or as a whole in the thirty-one manuscripts
described in Volume I. The tracts are also preserved, mainly - but
not exclusively - in these same thirty-one manuscripts. The
two-part introduction to this volume contains an account of five
additional manuscripts, and also a discussion of the textual
history of the sermons in the Sanctorale and of the tracts. The
latter complements the material on the Sunday Epistles and Gospels
already published, and when the edition is complete, it will set
the history of the Sanctorale in the context of the whole cycle.
The sermons are of great interest not only in their handling of
Lollard ideas but also in their utilization of theological and
scientific ideas; they indicate the level of sophistication
expected of their readers.
