So, are you curious about this manuscript? Click here for the facsimile, and here for further information.

Before the Covenanters, before John Knox and the Reformation in Scotland, even before Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door in Wittenberg, there were a group of people in Scotland known as "The Lollards of Kyle".The Lollards of Kyle were followers of John Wycliffe, the Morning Star of the Reformation and they were mainly from Kyle in Ayrshire. Though Wycliffe was English, as were the vast majority of Lollards, there was support for him across Britain and interest on the continental. Like other Lollards, the Lollards of Kyle  sought reform of the Roman Catholic Church and to provide the Bible in the language of their own people, the Scots tongue.

yeaaaaah SORRY MY FRIEND the chances of me ever actually playing the witcher game, or any video game, are essentially zero. to me this is a beautiful fantasy world of grumpy gay dads which appears exclusively in astolat fanfiction, and we’re all going to have to live with that.

Last time I was at York Minster, I got to see the York Gospels of 1020. Canons still take their oaths on this book today as they did 1000 years ago. Pity, that’s not a Biblical thing but it’s interesting none the less. #medieval #york #yorkminster #gospel #heresy #lollard #wycliffe
