medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Hi Meg!
Correct. The only named author of any of the translations is a "Master N.",
usually though to be Nichoals of Hereford. This is the 1382 recension. the 1390
recension are thought to be the work of John Purvey or John Treviso.
2) It is my understanding (contra Wikipedia, which quotes all sorts of sources
from the early 20th century) that, although Wycliffe emphasized the authority
of the Bible, he was not himself involved in its translation into English, and
that extant translations associated with the Lollards are of unknown
authorship? (The entry on Wycliffe´s Bible actually looks much more accurate
than the entry for Wycliffe himself)
