The book originated from the early Wycliffite movement and reflects its experience of persecution in apocalyptic terms. In England it soon fell into oblivion, but was adopted by radical exponents of the fifteenth-century Bohemian Hussites. In the sixteenth century Luther obtained a copy of the Opus arduum valde which he had printed in Wittenberg with his own preface in 1528. This remarkable document of religious dissent in late medieval Europe, highly regarded in Lollard and Hussite studies, is now for the first time made available in a critical edition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface  Abbreviations    Introduction: The Opus arduum valde: Origin—Character—Tradition—Edition   Wolf-Friedrich Schäufele   1 Opus arduum valde: The Title   2 The Author   3 The Current Situation   4 Date and Place of Writing   5 Sources   6 The Prologues   7 Content and Main Aspects   8 The Theological Profile of the OAV   9 An Attempt to Identify the Author   10 The OAV in Bohemia   11 The Manuscripts   12 Reconstruction of the History of Transmission and Formation of a Stemma Codicum   Excursus: The Transmission of OAV 7   13 The Edition by Martin Luther   14 Editorial Principles    Opus arduum valde    Prologues    Apocalypsis I    Apocalypsis II    Apocalypsis III    Apocalypsis IV    Apocalypsis V    Apocalypsis VI    Apocalypsis VII    Apocalypsis VIII    Apocalypsis IX    Apocalypsis X    Apocalypsis XI    Apocalypsis XII    Apocalypsis XIII    Apocalypsis XIV    Apocalypsis XV    Apocalypsis XVI    Apocalypsis XVII    Apokalypsis XVIII    Apocalypsis XIX    Apocalypsis XX    Apocalypsis XXI    Apocalypsis XXII    Bibliography  Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210748092759,"sku":"9789004362932","price":212.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/opus-arduum-valde-a-wycliffite-commentary-on-the-book-of-revelation-9789004362932","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
