Description

The catalogue is the first step towards a systematic description of the manuscripts of the Wycliffite Bible, one of the most influential medieval English works. The Bible is the first complete translation of the Vulgate in English, produced at the end of the 14th century by the followers of the Oxford theologian John Wyclif. In spite of being condemned and banned within twenty five years of its appearance, it became the most widely disseminated medieval English text. The catalogue contains detailed descriptions of all (64 in total) manuscripts of the Wycliffite Bible in Oxford collections (the Bodleian and college libraries). This is a substantial part of the whole corpus: 250 manuscripts of the Bible survive and Oxford has the largest number of copies in any single location. The descriptions are subdivided into sections covering textual contents, decoration, dialect, physical makeup and binding of each manuscript, and are accompanied by bibliographies. The descriptions are preceded by an introduction with a discussion of the manuscript tradition of the Wycliffite Bible and the findings resulting from the study of Oxford copies. The catalogue also contains several appendices illustrating important features of the manuscripts. Review Manuscripts of the Wycliffite Bible will be a necessary resource for scholars working on the Wycliffite Bible, and also for codicologists examining Middle English book production. Kathleen E. Kennedy, Journal for Manuscript Studies This is in every important respect a model exercise in clear, careful and methodical description of a complex body of material. --TLs It will become an invaluable tool for anyone interested in the study of the Wycliffite Bible, and will surely be joined by deeper analyses and other tools that will further our understanding of this--now less understudied-- class of manuscripts. --Eyal Poleg, The Medieval Review The Wycliffite Bible ... has received little serious scholarly attention. Elizabeth Solopova's research is changing all that. [...] It is to be hoped that other scholars will follow Solopova's exemplary lead in cataloguing additional location-specific subgroups of WB manuscripts. --Michael P. Kuczynski, Medium Aevum About the Author Elizabeth Solopova is a Research Fellow in the Faculty of English Language and Literature, Oxford University.
