At the time of her sudden death in 2009, Mary Dove had nearly finished with this edition of a collection of tracts concerning the late fourteenth- and early fifteenth-century debates over the translation of the Bible into English. Her fellow textual scholar Anne Hudson graciously arranged the materials that Dove left behind into the form in which they appear here. The book comprises a thorough introduction as well as critical editions of twenty-three texts, ranging in size and significance from the more than eighty-page Prologue to the Wycliffite Bible, through a collection of twelve tracts assembled by another advocate for biblical translation, through sections of the Wycliffite Glossed Gospels, to an eight-line tract entitled simply ‘In þe biginnyng’. For almost all these texts, Dove's represents the first complete, published critical edition; moreover, the edition is exceptionally easy to use, with text, glosses and biblical references, and apparatus appearing side-by-side on each page. In her introduction, Dove takes up a series of important textual and historical issues, noting especially that while medieval English translations of the Bible have long been associated with the dissenting theological propositions of John Wyclif and his followers, one did not need to be a Wycliffite to be in favour of translation. While these editions will do much to advance our knowledge of the politics, rhetoric and theology of the translation debate, the appearance of Dove's final book-length publication will also remind us what a fine editor, scholar and friend many of us have lost too soon.
