Studies on Wyclif’s attitude towards sources and Wyclif as a source

Review(s)

« (…) un volumen que ofrece nuevas y sorprendentes claves a quienes deseen transitar con mayor seguridad por los intricados vericuetos de la obra de John Wyclif. » (Carlos Prieto Espinosa,  in Anuario de Estudios Medievales 52/1, 2022, pp. 361-363)

BIO

Luigi Campi and Stefano Simonetta both teach History of Medieval Philosophy at the Università degli Studi di Milano. They have devoted an extensive series of papers and essays to John Wyclif, across fields ranging from political theology and ecclesiology to soteriology, metaphysics and Wyclif’s reception in Bohemia; L. Campi has published a critical edition of De scientia Dei (Oxford 2017), while S. Simonetta is the author of Si salvi chi può? Volere divino, merito e dominio nella riflessione del primo Wyclif (Bergamo 2007).

Summary

In the almost twenty years between the two international conferences on John Wyclif organised by the University of Milan, the most recent of which (September 2016) lies to some extent at the origin of the present volume, an increasing number of studies have been devoted to this great English thinker, theologian and reformer. These have enhanced our knowledge of his philosophical, theological and pastoral work, which had long remained in the shadows. The essays collected in the present book take further steps along this path, through the contribution of a range of specialists who have been called to further reconstruct Wyclif’s place in his intellectual milieu from the standpoint of his textual and doctrinal dependence and influence: the collected essays deal with the antecedents of Wyclif’s thought, his sources, and his role as a source for countless followers and opponents.

The following authors have contributed to the volume: Mark Thakkar, Alessandro Conti, Aurélien Robert, Stephen E. Lahey, Ian Christopher Levy, Sean Otto, Kantik Ghosh, Jindřich Marek and Graziana Ciola.
