The Waldenses, like the Franciscans, emerged from the apostolic
movements within the Latin Church of the decades around 1200, but
unlike the Franciscans they were driven underground. Not a full
counter-Church, like the Cathar heretics, they formed a clandestine
religious order, preaching to and hearing the confessions of their
secret followers, and surviving until the Reformation. This volume
begins by surveying modern historiography. Then, using both
inquisition records from the Baltic to the Alps and the Waldenses'
own books, the author deals with the asceticism of the Waldensian
order, its practice of poverty and medicine, the culture of the
Brothers and the preaching of the Waldensian Sisters, the way both
used and mythicised history to support their position, and the
composition of their followers. The final chapters examine their
origins and authorship of the inquisitors' texts, and look through
them to see how inquisitors viewed the Waldenses.
