Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from John Wycliffe and His English Precursors Science is an international good. It is not confined by territorial boundaries, nor restricted by the ties of nationality. Nowhere does it stand written that only an Englishman can suitably write the history of England, or a portion of it. It may easily happen that a German may have access to sources of English history from which the Englishman may have less opportunity to draw. It is from such sources that I believe myself able to offer not a little which may serve to supplement and enrich, and even to correct, the knowledge which has hitherto been current respecting the history and the characteristic genius of Wycliffe. All the men whose Wycliffe-researches have hitherto acquired importance and authority have in every instance been able to bring to light, and make use of for the first time, fresh documentary materials. It was so with John Lewis in the last century, who wrote the first independent biography of Wycliffe. The chief value of that book - a value still fully recognised at the present day - lies not in its style of execution, but purely in the mass of materials which it brought together and published. In the present century, Dr. Robert Vaughan, by his works upon the same subject, increased our historical knowledge of Wycliffe to such a degree, that these works have been everywhere recognised as authorities, and used as a storehouse of information. The chief distinction of these writings was the extensive use made in them, by quotation and otherwise, of Wycliffe´s manuscript Tracts and Sermons. More recently, at the suggestion of the late Professor Shirley, these English writings of the Reformer have been published by the Clarendon Press, which had already, in 1850, given to the world a model edition of the Wycliffe Translation of the Bible. The Select English Works of John Wiclif edited in excellent style by Thomas Arnold, M.A., of University College, Oxford, contains a complete collection of the Reformer´s English sermons, and a selection of his English tracts, popular pieces, and fly-leaves - a service to literature and religious history which calls for the warmest acknowledgments. It was as an integral part of the same projected collection of Select Works of Wiclif, that the author of the present work brought out in 1869 a critical edition of the Trialogus, upon the authority of a collation of four Vienna MSS. of the work, accompanied by the Supplementum Trialogi, which had never been in print.
