Dimensions: 9.7in. x 7.4in. x 0.1in.This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: . . . CHAPTER IV. The Sins in Common Life. THERE is no popular literature of the Middle Ages extant, which quite corresponds to the religious plays in influence over the lives of the common people : but the man who, outside the plays, was the great moving force in religious England of the fourteenth century was John Wycliffe (1325-1 384), and there is in the library of Trinity College, Dublin, a MS. reputed to be by him on the Seven Deadly Sins. It is of parchment, six-and-a-half by four-and-a-half inches in diameter, in small handwriting, containing thirtytwo lines to a page. It is catalogued as WiclifFs Tracts: The Creed and the Seven Deadly Sins, and the evidence as to its authorship was sufficient to satisfy Dr. Thomas Arnold, and to cause him to include it in his Select English Works of Wycliffe. But Wycliffe had all the qualities and literary methods of a successful journalist, and if he lived to-day would almost certainly be a leader writer for the popular press, whereas this treatise--especially if it is read by the side of the prose treatise of Chaucer--is deadly dull. Even Wycliffes name, supposing it to be by him, could hardly have made it popular, and we have to look elsewhere to trace the influence of the Sins in common life. In the year 1493 tnere was published in Paris a remarkable volume entitled Le Compost et kalendrier des bergiers, which ten years later (1503) was translated into English at the cost of Richard Pynson by the title of The Kalendar of Shepherds. It was a most popular book in France, and it speedily became popular in England, and there is no wonder in this, for it is perhaps one of the most interesting books which the fifteenth century produced. The name of its author, or authors, is unknown, but they. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN.<
