This volume, along with Volume V, completes the edition of the long English Wycliffite sermon cycle with a review of evidence concerning its date, authorship, background and audience, a survey of the polemical issues discussed in it, and an extensive commentary on the text, continued in Volume V.
Volumes IV and V complete the edition of the long English Wycliffite sermon cycle. These volumes are indispensable to the study of Volumes I to III: they review of evidence concerning its date, authorship, background and audience; survey the polemical issues; and comment on the text with thorough indices of sermons and biblical references.
...the edition is a great contribution to medieval studies. Volumes 4 and 5 are, like the earlier volumes, remarkable for their ability to deal intelligently and engagingly with a massive body of complex material.
