The ''Ecclesiae Regimen'', also ''Remonstrance'', ''xxxvii Conclusiones Lollardorum'', or ''Thirty Seven Articles against Corruptions in the Church'', is a church reformation declaration against the Catholic Church of England in the Late Middle Ages. It had no official title given to it when written and the author(s) did not identify themselves in the original manuscript. This public declaration by the English medieval sect called the Lollards was announced to the English parliament at the end of the manifesto Twelve Conclusions of the Lollards published in 1395.〔 Compston, p. 739 〕〔 Twelve Conclusions of the Lollards: The Twelfth Conclusion: Arts and Crafts '' And though these matters be here shortly knit they be in another book longly declared, and may another more, all in our language, the which we would were communed to all true Christian men. '' 〕 == Contents == The manuscript (usually associated with the name ''Ecclesiae Regimen'') is a medieval Latin undated handwritten text document containing church reform thoughts of John Wycliffe and the Lollards. The Roman Catholic Church reformation ideas identified as originally belonging to John Wycliffe was expounded upon by the Wycliffite party known as the Lollards.〔〔 (Remonstrance against Romish corruptions in the Church, Preface, pp iii-xx ) 〕 The purpose of the manuscript was to show the reader how corrupt the Roman Catholic Church was at the time and that it needed reform.〔 (Remonstrance against Romish corruptions in the Church, p. xviii ) 〕 Scholars attribute the original manuscript ideas to Wycliffe but that it was actually written by John Purvey〔Forshall, p. xxviii〕 after Wycliffe's death in 1384 and sometime before 1395.〔 (Remonstrance against Romish corruptions in the Church, p. xiii-xiv ) 〕 The arguments for Purvey being the sole author are based on the similarity between this and the General Prologue of the Wycliffe Bible (known to be written by Purvey).〔Forshall, p. xxviii〕 Another argument is in the similarity and style of Purvey’s confession in 1400.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ecclesiae Regimen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
