This dissertation begins the work of a full critical edition and translation of Wyclif's treatise, De incarnatione Verbi (DIV). Chapters 1-4 include full codicological surveys of all eight surviving manuscripts that contain the text; justify the proposed stemma codicum in light of surviving textual variants; argue that the version contained in manuscript M is a reportatio; and explain the need for a new edition to replace Edward Harris's edition of 1886. Chapters 5-8 contain critical editions and translations of the prologue and seventh chapter of both the reportatio and final version of the treatise. Chapter 9 discusses the treatise's authenticity, title, genre, and date.
