The Life and Opinions of John de Wycliffe, vol. 1

  • Author: Robert Vaughan
  • Publisher: Holdsworth and Ball
  • Publication Date: 1831
  • Pages: 438

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

The introduction to these volumes consists of three chapters; the first, relating to the rise and character of the Papal System; the second, to the state of the Protestant Doctrine in Europe, from the fall of the empire to the opening of the fourteenth century; and the last, to the Ecclesiastical Establishment, and the state of society in England previous to the appearance of Wycliffe. Vaughan offers valuable observations on the state of the church during the interval between the death of Wycliffe and the appearance of Luther.

Every student of Wycliffe's period must build on Dr. Vaughan's foundation. He remains the great authority upon the subject, and, as Professor Lechler says, his works must always take a foremost place as the basis of all accurate knowledge of Wycliffe.

The British Quarterly Review

A work of great learning, interest, and eloquence, and deserves to be read attentively by every student of modern history.

London Weekly Review

While it will be highly useful to the general reader, it will deserve the attention of the more erudite and curious student. It is much to the author's praise, that he has devoted a very considerable portion of time and labor to the diligent and unceasing study of the Reformer’s writings in their original copies.

Athenaum

Mr. Vaughan could not easily have chosen a more important or more impressive subject; nor could he have set about his task in a more business-like and effective way.

North British Review

It is a work honorable alike to the industry, judgment, learning, and good taste of the author, and we believe it will go down to posterity as a classic work in English history—the book to which the men in days to come will have recourse for full and authentic information respecting the character, the opinions, and the doings of the greatest Englishman of the middle ages.

An unusually full yet concise account of the great English Reformer, discussing, among other features of his life and work, his early surroundings, student life, his mission to Bruges, his theology and character, Lollardism in England and Scotland, and the results of Wycliffe's teachings within the Roman Church.

This is a scholarly treatment, condensed and highly attractive.

A brilliant and most useful study.

The Life of John Wickliff

  • Author: P. F. Tytler

  • Pages: 207

Noted historian and biographer Patrick Fraser Tytler presents a highly readable biography of John Wycliffe, covering his early life to his death, and the impact he had on the world. Contains a detailed Appendix and a list of Wycliffe's works.

Patrick Fraser Tytler (1791–1849) was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, and was one of the founders of the Bannatyne Club and the English Historical Society. His numerous works include Lives of Scottish Worthies, Life of Sir Walter Raleigh, Life of Henry VIII, Portraits of Mary Queen of Scots, and the seven-volume History of Scotland.

John Wycliffe (c. 1328–1384) was an English scholar, theologian, philosopher, preacher, and Bible translator. An early dissident of the Roman Catholic Church, Wycliffe's works on reforming the Church spawned a movement known as Lollardy, which is considered the precursor to the Protestant Reformation. Wycliffe was also an early advocate for translating the Bible into the common language, for ". . . it helpeth Christian men to study the Gospel in that tongue in which they know best Christ’s sentence." Wycliffe's tracts and treatises argued for the Scriptures as the sole authority for doctrine and ecclesial polity, and his sharp attacks on the Church caused his works to be banned. Years after his death, he was declared a heretic at the Council of Constance and his body was exhumed and his remains burned.

    I'm trying to read one of his sermons in volume 2; but it is slow going. I'm sure that what I am reading is English; yet extremely early English. Here's a sample: gospel telliþ how þat Crist savede a womman, and tauȝte his Chirche. Joon seiþ how, Jesus wente into þe hit of Olyvete, and efte in þe grey morewnyng2 he cam aȝen into þe temple. And here we ben tauȝte to preie and þenke on God bifore we prechen. And al þe puple cam to Crist, and he sitting tauȝte hem. And Phariseis and scribis brouȝten a womman, taken in avoutrie, and þei puttiden her in þe myddil, and þei seiden to Crist, Maistir, þis womman is now taken in avoutrie.
