- Abstract:
- During the English Reformation, William Barlow and John Foxe found an unlikely champion for the translation of scripture into the vernacular in the prolific thirteenth-century Flemish author Jacob van Maerlant. His fame in England was based on the only known recorded mention of a Middle Dutch author by name in a Middle English text, and rested on a case of mistranslation between Middle Dutch and Middle English.
