  John Purvey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Purvey (1353?-1428?) was one of the leading followers of the English theologian and reformer John Wycliffe during the late fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries.
It was at Lutterworth that Purvey undertook, probably with Wycliffe's concurrence if not at his suggestion, to revise the 1380 English translation of the Bible done by Wycliffe and Nicholas of Hereford.
Afterwards Purvey was left alone and by the end of 1401 he was inducted to the vicarage of West Hythe in Kent.

The former had worked with Wyclif at Oxford and is spoken of by the mendicants at Oxford in an appeal to John of Gaunt (18 February 1382) as their chief enemy; he was then a Doctor, paginae sacrae professor, et utinam non perversor, words which may refer to his share in the translation.
John Purvey was born at Lathbury, near Newport Pagnell.
Purvey does add a few simple glosses, but they are free from any party colour and are taken from Nicholas de Lyra (1340).

Becoming associated with John Wyclif at Oxford, he accompanied the Lollard leader to Lutterworth in 1382 and there perhaps finished a faulty translation of the Bible previously begun by others under Wyclif’s inspiration.
The second shows a prose style better than that of Wyclif’s writings; portions of it were later used by the translators of the King James Version.
Purvey continued active as a Lollard until his arrest in 1401.

 John Wycliffe
In 1365 one "John de Wyclif" was appointed by Simon Islip, Archbishop of Canterbury, to the wardenship of Canterbury Hall, a house which the archbishop founded for a mixed body of monks and secular clergy, and then -- as a result of the inevitable quarrels -- filled exclusively with the latter.
It is probable, however, that the John Wiclif of the Queens College accounts is the same as the John Wyclif who appears in the College computus for 1371-72 as one of the "almonry boys" of the College, and, therefore, certainly not the reformer.
John of Gaunt was for the moment in retirement; but the mother of the young king appears to have adopted his policy in church affairs, and she naturally occupied a chief position in the new council.

 John Wycliffe
John Wycliffe (1320-1384) was a theologian and early proponent of reform in the Roman Catholic Church during the 14th century.
His predecessor in a like case was John Owtred, a monk who formulated the statement that St. Peter had united in his hands spiritual and temporal power--the opposite of what Wycliffe taught.
Yet his friend and protector John of Gaunt was the most hated by the rebels, and where Wycliffe's influence was greatest the uprising found the least support.

The original nucleus seems, indeed, to have consisted of the four larger Catholic Epistles and the Epistles of St. Paul, to which were subsequently added 2 and 3 John, Jude, Acts, and Matthew 1:1-6:8.
Purvey's work was on the level of the best scholarship and textual knowledge of the age, and it satisfied the requirements of those who needed a vernacular Bible.
This however, may be said even of some parts of the AV, so that it is small reproach to Wyclif and Purvey; and on the whole it is a straightforward and intelligible version of the Scriptures.
