| Abstract | This session showcases new research arising from three editions: of parts of the Wycliffite Bible, of the Wycliffite Old Testament Lectionary, and of academic treatises on biblical translation. These projects involve texts surviving in single and multiple witnesses, straddle Latin and Middle English, and entail print and digital publications: together, they constitute a kind of textual-critical laboratory. Speakers will report findings from their editorial work, but also consider methodological implications for the practice of textual criticism in medieval studies more generally. This session is organised in association with the Oxford-based AHRC-funded project 'Towards a New Edition of the Wycliffite Bible'. |
