Wyclif's ideas caused a major upheaval both in the country of his birth and in the Bohemian area of central Europe. The main medium through which his message was disseminated was the written word, using the universal western language of Latin. This work features papers that look at various aspects of that dissemination.
'... the book is a monumental study of the evolution, dissemination, influence, and survival of his Latin writings. This vast resource brings together in one volume Hudson's work of almost four decades ... an essential resource for scholars interested in any aspect of Wyclif's career, thought, and remarkable output.' English Historical Review 'Each of these studies stands on its own, but a successful effort has been made to draw them together into a book that has, in every sense, an integrity of its own.... Of the quality and importance of this work it is scarcely necessary to speak.' Catholic Historical Review
