The treatise, meticulously reconstructed from multiple sources including the Vienna Mss. 4536, 1622, 4504, 4515, 3927, 3937, and 1343; from the Prague Ms. X. E9. and the Trinity College (Dublin) Ms. C. 1. 24, is essential for understanding Wycliffe's role in the history of religious reform and his enduring influence on Christian thought.
