Waldensian Dissent - Persecution and Survival, C.1170-C.1570

Klappentext A short history of the Waldensians! a twelfth-century heretical movement in France! and of its persistence until the sixteenth century. Zusammenfassung The Waldensians constituted the only heretical group to have survived to the dawn of the so-called 'modern' period. Emerging first in around 1170 they were condemned as heretics! yet they survived across Europe until the sixteenth century. This 1999 book tells their unique story of quiet separateness! fear and persecution.
