The Twelve Conclusions of the Lollards
Anonymous
What it is
A manifesto nailed to the doors of Westminster Hall condemning clerical wealth, celibacy, transubstantiation, pilgrimages, images, and war.
Why it lasted
The clearest statement of Lollard belief in its own words, presented to Parliament rather than smuggled between believers.
Where to read it
This work is in the public domain and can be read in full, free, at the archives below. The Library catalogues it; it does not host the text.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
