| "The College of the Blessed Mary and All Saints, Lincoln, in the University of Oxford, commonly called Lincoln College" was founded by Richard Fleming, Bishop of Lincoln, in 1427, and named after his cathedral. His intention was that it should be "a little college of true students of theology who would defend the mysteries of Scripture against those ignorant laymen who profaned with swinish snouts its most holy pearls". This was aimed at the Lollard teachings of John Wyclif. For a more comprehensive history, visit the college website. |
