_1378._ _Gregory XI_, as a result of a denunciation by the Inquisitor, Nicholas Eymeric, condemned two hundred propositions selected from twenty treatises of Raymond Lully (who had died in 1315). In 1419, the papal legate in Spain characterises this Bull as having been secured under false representations, and as not to be regarded. After that time, there were numerous bitter controversies over the precise status of Lully’s writings, controversies in which the orthodoxy of Lully was maintained by the Franciscans, while the soundness of the denunciation of Eymeric was upheld by the Dominicans. Paul IV placed Lully in Class II of his Index: but his name was omitted from the Index of Trent. In 1580 and in 1620, question again arose as to placing Lully on the Index, but the suggestion was withdrawn at the instance of the Spanish court. _1387._ _King Richard II_ prohibits, under penalty of imprisonment and confiscation of property, the sale or purchase of the heretical writings of Wyclif (who had died in 1384) and of Nicholas Hereford. _1408._ _The Convocation of Canterbury_, under the direction of Archbishop Arundel, prohibits the reading of any writings of Wyclif, or of “any other writings of his time,” until the same had been passed upon and expurgated by censors appointed by the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, and the expurgated texts had been approved by the archbishop.[28] _1415._ _The Council of Constance_ condemns as heretical the writings of John Wyclif. It is forbidden, under pain of excommunication, to read them or to make citations from them (except for the purpose of refuting their errors); and the bishops are ordered to cause all copies to be collected and burned. The council takes similar action in regard to the writings of John Huss, copies of which were publicly burned. In the year following, the same fate came upon Huss himself, and also upon Jerome of Prague. _1435._ _The Council of Basel_ condemns a work by Augustinus Favorini, Prior General of the Augustinian Eremites. The book was characterised by Cardinal Torquemada as unwholesome and heretical. The author appealed to the Pope (Eugenius IV) who, against the protest of the council, referred the book to a committee of investigation. The report of the committee is not on record, but it was probably unfavourable, as the book (which was never printed) stands, since 1559, on the Index. _1459._ _Pope Pius II_, at the demand of the Inquisition, condemns the writings of Pecock, Bishop of Chichester (charged with Wycliffian heresies), and orders copies of the same to be delivered for burning. _1460._ _Pius II_ condemns certain “Hussite” writings of Gregory of Heimburg and, in _1461_, the condemnation is repeated in a _Bulla Coenae_.
