1 Hudson writes: “Much less persuasive, it seems to me, is the attempt to argue that revelatory writing and the notions it purveyed were more widely disseminated than the ideas of the Wycliffite movement and attracted as much censorship” (759). This is not what my book argues. Elsewhere she writes that I claim that revelatory writing “derived from Joachim of Flore [sic] or … pertaining to the Free Spirit ‘sect,’ was a familiar form” (759). I am not certain what she means by “familiar” (this is the kind of term I might use of, say, Boethius, not Joachim of Fiore), but this is not an accurate account of the book either.

Hanna points out that the table of contents remains intact and wonders whether this means a colleague of Partridge made the excision, though surely any excisor would have been dependent on the table of contents, too, to navigate this complex anthology.
