Opis

Coventry, one of late medieval England's major cities, harbored an important community of heretics, known as Lollards, in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. This volume presents all the known records concerning these heretics, in the original languages of Latin and medieval English as well as in a modern English translation. The documents offer new insights into the nature of religious dissent in England prior to the first stirrings of the English Reformation.
