WYCLIF’S TRANSLATION

WYCLIF’S TRANSLATION

The next important English version is the so-called Wycliftrans-lation, of which over 150 manuscripts are extant. It is taken indirectly from the Vulgate. Much doubt has been cast recently on the theory that Wyclif was responsible for this pre-Reforrnation Bible in recent years, since the translation is largely Catholic in tone and diction and since most of the manuscripts of this version were found in the possession of notably Catholic families.
