The Vision of Piers Plowman by William Langland
Piers Plowman is "one of the greatest examples of Middle English alliterative poetry, ... an allegorical work with a complex variety of religious themes. One of the major achievements of Piers Plowman is that it translates the language and conceptions of the cloister into symbols and images that could be understood by the layman." (Encyclopedia Britannica)

Ancient Latin translations of the Bible and the Greek Fathers supply some of what's missing in the extant Greek manuscripts…

Origen (tr. John Behr), On FIrst Principles: A Reader's Edition (2020: Oxford University Press)
This is the new definitive English translation of one of the most important writings from one of the most important priest/theologian/philosophers of the Early Church, Origen's Peri Archon. St. Augustine, though he had to issue corrections to some ideas that reportedly came from it, thought so highly of Origen that he urged St. Jerome to pause writing his Vulgate in order to translate more of his works into Latin first. A later father wrote, "When Origen was good, there was no one better; but when he was bad, there was no one worse," referring also, most likely, especially to this…
