Description
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society, Vol. 7
A most conspicuous instance of the success of well-regulated persecution in condemning thought to Oblivion is supplied by the fate of Wycliffe''s writings. Wycliffe was, even before the date of his Open quarrel with the Church, about the most famous. Schoolman of his day: he was famous as a pure Philosopher, a Logician, and a Metaphysician, before he wrote Theology at all and he was famous as a Theologian before he was famous as. A heretic. Yet, in spite of all his fame, his works, with the exception of a few of the most popular, have remained in ms. Till the Wyclifi''e Society began its valuable labours in connexion with the quinquacentenary of his death. Even now that his. Works occupy a whole shelf in our Libraries, no historian of'' Philosophy has discovered the existence of such a thinker even.
