Excerpt from The Lollard Bible and Other Medieval Biblical Versions Since The Lollard Bible was published in 1920, there has been much research into Lollard history between Wycliffe's day and the Reformation, and fresh light has been thrown, incidentally, on the Lollard use of the scrip tures. No book however, using all the new evidence, has dealt expressly with this subject. One book, nevertheless, is pre-eminent as shedding light on the matter: Mr j.a.f. Thomson's The Later Lollards, 1965, which has, besides its geographically comprehensive account of Lollard history, an excellent and up-to-date bibliography of all the printed and unprinted sources. Mr Thomson quotes many instances showing that the mere possession of English books, and specially of English scrip tures, might make a man suspect of heresy. He refers also to the secret meetings of the Lollards for Bible reading. Two other books which should not be passed over are a.b. Emden's Biographical Register of the University of Oxford, 1957 - 9, an instrument for tracing Lollard careers, and Mr j. Robson's Wyclif and the Oxford Schools, 1961, which expounds Wycliffe's ultra-realist philosophy, and his con tention that the Bible was one divine thing, a Platonic exemplar existing in the mind of God before the creation, of equal sanction throughout. Such teaching, erratically followed, may lie behind one Lollard's claim that the Old Testament was of more authority than the New.
