[713] The Wyclif Society, founded in London by Dr. Furnivall, has
published a great part of the Latin works of Wyclif: "Polemical Works in
Latin," ed. Buddensieg, 1883, 8vo; "Joannis Wyclif, de compositione
Hominis," ed. R. Beer, 1884; "Tractatus de civili Dominio ... from the
unique MS. at Vienna," ed. R. Lane Poole, 1885 ff.; "Tractatus de
Ecclesia," ed. Loserth, 1886; "Dialogus, sive speculum Ecclesie
militantis," ed. A. W. Pollard, 1886; "Tractatus de benedicta
Incarnatione," ed. Harris, 1886; "Sermones," ed. Loserth and Matthew,
1887; "Tractatus de officio Regis;" ed. Pollard and Sayle, 1887; "De
Dominio divino libri tres, to which are added the first four books of
the treatise 'De pauperie Salvatoris,' by Richard Fitzralph, archbishop
of Armagh," ed. R. L. Poole, 1890; "De Ente praedicamentali," ed. R.
Beer, 1891; "De Eucharistia tractatus maior; accedit tractatus de
Eucharistia et Poenitentia," ed. Loserth and Matthew, 1892. Many
others are in preparation.
Among the Latin works published outside of the Society, see "Tractatus
de officio pastorali," ed. Lechler, Leipzig, 1863, 8vo; "Trialogus cum
supplemento Trialogi," ed. Lechler, Oxford, 1869, 8vo; "De Christo et
suo Adversario Antichristo," ed. R. Buddensieg, Gotha, 1880, 4to. Many
documents by or concerning Wyclif are to be found in the "Fasciculi
Zizaniorum magistri Joannis Wyclif cum tritico," ed. Shirley, Rolls,
1858, 8vo (compiled by Thomas Netter, fifteenth century). See also
Shirley, "A Catalogue of the Original Works of John Wyclif," Oxford,
1865, 8vo, and Maunde Thompson, "Wycliffe Exhibition in the King's
Library," London, 1884, 8vo.

8vo, p. 85.
[715] On this treatise, and on the use made of it by Wyclif, see:
"Johannis Wycliffe De Dominio divino libri tres. To which are added the
first four books of the treatise 'De pauperie Salvatoris,' by Richard
Fitzralph," ed. R. Lane Poole, 1890. The "De Dominio divino," of Wyclif,
seems to have been written about 1366; his "De Dominio Civili," about
1372.

jus, sed in re habet omnia bona Dei." "De Dominio Civili," chap. i. p.

prelati ecclesie secundum tradiciones suas immisceant se negociis et
solicitudinibus civilis dominii." Chap. xxvii. p. 195.
