Volumes IV and V complete the edition of the long English Wycliffite sermon cycle.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"...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."--Speculum--A Journal of Medieval Studies

"These two volumes, like their three predecessors, are invaluable to students of Wycliffite theology and of religious history in general. The attention to detail is impressive, as is the editors' knowledge of Wycliffe's works....a powerful research tool which will certainly make further research for future scholars easier."--The Sixteenth Century Journal

"It remains a splendid achievement, replacing all previous work...'Definitive' is a much over-worked adjective for scholarly efforts, but it would be surprising to this reviewer if there should ever be a need for another edition of these texts...One should be grateful to Oxford University Press for making it available."--English Language Notes
