How should historians read sources which record inquisitorial
trials in the Middle Ages? How can we understand the fears felt by
those on trial? By analysing six volumes of depositions in the
trial of Cathar and Waldensian heretics in Languedoc between the
late twelfth and the fourteenth century, in this 2009 book,
Caterina Bruschi challenges old methodologies in the study of
dissent. She examines the intrinsic narratological problems related
to the sources and, using approaches from the social sciences,
analyses the different fears felt by deponents and how those fears
affected their actions and decisions. In so doing, she sheds light
on itinerancy within the ecclesial structure of non-conformist
movements and contextualises the problem of itinerancy as a
benchmark for the definition of heresy. Focusing on the lives and
attitudes of trial witnesses, this innovative account is a major
contribution to our understanding of the nature of religious
non-conformity in the Middle Ages.
