Wickliife has also profited much by De Lyra’s writings: he used them frequently when translating the Bible. Indeed, his writings were formerly very famous. Pope, in giving a catalogue of Bay’s library, in his Dunciad, finds―― “De Lyra there a dreadful front extend.” It appears that soon after the banishment of the Jews from this country, De Lyra embraced Christianity in Paris. The French biographers have a particular talent of Frenchifying any learned man who passes through the towns and streets of France. Accordingly, L’Advocat, in his biographical dictionary, made a Frenchman of him. But that is disproved by the title-page of one of De Lyra’s own works,¹ in which he gives England as his native country. ¹ Brathering’s 8vo. edition of Lyra’s Disputations against the Jews.

Cum nuper pacem nostram per totum regnum nostrum publicè proclamari fecimus, et eam omnibus et singulis de regno nostro tam Judæis, quam Christianis observari præcepimus, et præcipimus quod Judæi nostri de Bruges in balliva tua manuteneas, et defendas, ita quod eis pax nostra, prout ejus per totum regnum nostrum proclamari fecimus, inviolabiliter observetur. Et non exigas vel exigi permittas ab eisdem redemptiones vel alias extorsiones ad opus nostrum, vel alicujus alterius, nisi quatenus ad debita nostra, seu Domini _Henrici_ regis patris nostri, seu tallagia, aut alia ad quæ de jure tenentur ab eis levanda, de nostro, aut ejusdem Domini Henr. patris nostri mandato warrantum habueris.
