He was an outspoken controversialist and critic of the church, and, in his last days at Oxford, the author of the greatest heresy that England had known. This volume offers translations of a representative selection of his Latin writings on theology, the church and the Christian life.

This collection will be of interest to undergraduate and graduate students of medieval history, historical theology and religious heresy, as well as scholars in the field.

The narrator says ‘[t]hys creatur, of whom is tretyd beforn, usyd many yerys to begynnyn hir preyerys on this maner’, establishing the text as narrative evidence of a conforming Christian's long-term pious practices. 7 The Margery of the prayers is portrayed as devout, orthodox, and mainstream: ‘sche cam to chirche, knelyng beforn the sacrament in the worschep of the blissyd Trinite (Fadir, Sone, and Holy Gost, oo God and iii Personys), of that gloryows Virgine, Qwen of Mercy, owr Lady Seynt Mary, and of the xii
