Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Champions of the Truth: Short Lives of Christian Leaders in Thought and Action The village of Wycliffe ("water-cliff"), on the northern boundary of Yorkshire, in the fair valley of the Tees, between Barnard Castle and Old Richmond, had since the Norman Conquest given its name to the family that inhabited its Manor-house. From this family sprang John of Wycliffe, or John Wyclif, born, it is said, at Spresswell, a neighbouring hamlet which has long disappeared, its site being occupied by ploughed fields. The year of his birth is uncertain; but he must have been at least sixty years old when he died in 1384. The date, therefore, generally assigned is 1324; it was probably a few years earlier. Nothing whatever is known of Wyclif´s parentage or early training. Near Rokeby, two or three miles higher up the valley, was the Abbey of Egglestone, where it is probable that he received the rudiments of instruction. At the age of fifteen or sixteen he proceeded to Oxford, nor do we find that he ever revisited his native village. In all his voluminous writings no autobiographical details have been discovered, nor had his many antagonists a single tale to tell, whether true or false, of his private life.
