Abstract

Abstract Owing to protracted investigations of heresy, much of John Wyclif’s oeuvre is now available, not in insular, but only in Bohemian manuscripts. However, the mechanisms of such transmission have remained murky, in spite of Anne Hudson’s magisterial investigations in Czech libraries. This essay looks at evidence for an analogous, yet orthodox, transmission, earlier and, before 1407, considerably more prolific than the Wycliffite example. This involves Oxonian texts written for preachers; these had a lively and early Bohemian circulation, dating back to the foundations of the Charles University, Prague.
