---

An edition of two previously unprinted Wycliffite texts, the first also circulating in a shorter version, here printed in parallel with the longer version. The texts are the work of a single anonymous academic follower of John Wyclif, written c. 1400-1414. The two longer works consist of an extended sermon on ecclesiastical temporalities and a tract defending Wycliffite views of the Eucharist.
The new edition includes full discussion of the texts' historical context, including evidence for the author's possible identity, commentary, and glossary. The texts are of particular interest in showing the extent to which Wycliffite writers attempted to transfer into English complex theological ideas, previously available only in Latin.
