The Latin Works of John Wyclif
John Wyclif (1324 -1384) has been variously described as “the morning star of the Reformation” and as a preacher of “lying insanities in the ears of many.” In his time, he was both England’s most eminent theologian and its first heresiarch. This site intends to make Wyclif’s Latin corpus more widely available to a general scholarly audience.
