THE ENGLISH PULPIT FROM FISHER TO DONNE
I. HISTORY OF PREACHING.
The best complete survey of Christian preaching is the art. Predigt by
Schian in Hauck-Herzogs Realencyklopädie, vol. xv. A good outline is given
in A History of Preaching, A. D. 70-1572, by Dargan, E. C. , 2 vols. 1913.
For the later medieval sermon see Gasquet, F. A. , The Eve of the
Reformation (3rd ed. , 1905), and The Old English Bible (2nd ed. , 1908);

Neale, J. M. , Mediaeval Preachers (1856); Baring Gould, S. , Post-Mediaeral
Preachers (1865); and the ridicule by Erasmus in Encomium Moriae.
For the reformation period: of general ecclesiastical historians, Dixon
gives most attention to the preachers. The best special account is Sketches
of the Reformation and Elizabethan age taken from the contemporary
Pulpit, by Haweis, J. O. W. , 1844. See also Puritan Preaching in England,
by Brown, John. The most important regulations about preaching are given
in Documents illustrative of English Church History, compiled by Gee, H. ,
and Hardy, W. J. , 1896.
Contemporary views of the proper methods of preaching may be found in
Erasmus, Ecclesiastes sive concionator Evangelicus, Basel, 1535; Amandi
Polani De Concionum sacrarum methodo, Basel, 1574; William Perkins,
Prophetica, sive de sacra et unica ratione concionandi, Cambridge, 1592
(translated as The Art of Prophesying, 1606); Matthaei Sutlivii (i. e. Sutcliffe,
1550 ? -1629), De concionum formulis, 1602. For a later criticism see Bishop
Burnet, Of the Pastoral Care, chap. IX.
