SynopsisExcerpt from Select English Works of John Wyclif, Vol. 3: Edited From Original Mss No. 47, Tractatus de pseudo Freris, ' I found to be, on examining it in the unique copy belonging to Trinity College, Dublin, a fierce indictment in many counts against the friars. I could find nothing to throw light on its date or authorship; and if I exclude it, it is rather because the edition contains already so many denunciations of the friars, than on account of any opinion which I have formed adverse to its authenticity.

Out of the thirty-three pieces which the volume contains, only eight (Nos. XV, XXIII, XXIV, XXVI, and XXX - XXXIV) have been ever printed before; and several of these are both short and unimportant. It was difficult to find a convenient principle of arrangement. To print them in the order of composition was impossible, there being no means of fixing with anything like certainty, in regard to a large proportion of them, the period of Wyclif's life to which they should be referred. On the whole, it seemed best to divide them into three portions, - one consisting of treatises of an exegetical, didactic, or devotional character, commencing with the longest, Super Cantica Sacra, and arranging the rest, so far as possible, according to the dignity of their subject-matter; - the second consisting of Controversial Tracts, which every effort has been made to arrange chronologically; - the third containing the few English documents of a personal character, such as letters and declaratory statements, which time and persecution - though the former is far less responsible for the paucity of them than the latter - have spared to our times. Grounds of Selection and Exclusion. - Something must now be said as to the grounds of selection. The Catalogue published by Dr. Shirley contains sixty-five English works ascribed to Wyclif. The present edition contains thirty-two of these, and portions of another. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
