Opis

This third volume completes the text of the 294 English Wycliffite sermons; the first two volumes appeared in 1983 and 1987. These 120 sermons were intended to provide material for all the weekday occasions for which the Sarum rite offers a separate gospel reading. Offering coverage of ferial days which is unparalleled in English medieval homilaries, the sermons are must reading for anyone interested in the development of later medieval theology and ecclesiology, and in the rise of the vernacular as a medium for education and academic discussion.

Recenzje

'As in volumes 1 and 3, Hudson has supplied the reader with copious lemmata to each sermon. I have checked her transcription and lemmata against a number of the manuscripts and have found not a single error in trascription, nor that she has missed an item worthy of being recorded in the lemmata ... her edition of the Wycliffite sermons is one of the monuments of twentieth-century editing ... We are in Hudson's debt. The three volumes of the Wycliffite sermons have set a new standard in the editing of medieval prose religious texts, not one likely to be superseded.' Thomas J. Heffernan, University of Tennessee, A Journal of Medieval Studies, Oct 1993
