Reviews
"...this will undoubtedly be a very useful classroom volume, finally allowing anglophone students to gain a better understanding of the lives of these 'disenters.'" The Catholic Historical Review, 'This text should be welcomed by all those historians ... who have up to now lacked a comprehensive and worthwhile text for the study of Waldensians.' Caterina Bruschi, Boekbeoordelingen, ‘ This text should be welcomed by all those historians ... who have up to now lacked a comprehensive and worthwhile text for the study of Waldensians.’Caterina Bruschi, Boekbeoordelingen, ' This text should be welcomed by all those historians ... who have up to now lacked a comprehensive and worthwhile text for the study of Waldensians.'Caterina Bruschi, Boekbeoordelingen, "This smoothly translated work, published 11 years ago in France, was intended 'to make acessible to the "enlightened amateur" the results of the latest research' on the 'Poor of Lyon' or/and the Waldensians...the volume is highly commended."

Synopsis
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., A short history of the Waldensians, a twelfth-century heretical movement in France, and of its persistence until the sixteenth century., The Poor of Lyons, whom their detractors called 'Waldensians' - after the name of their founder Waldo (or Vaudès) - first emerged around 1170 and formed in common with other groups of the period a sect which embraced evangelism, prophecy and poverty. By challenging their prohibition by the lay clergy, and by following the Scripture to the last letter, they suffered excommunication and were condemned as heretics. Forced underground and dispersed widely, they nevertheless managed to maintain contact across Europe, through an established network of itinerant preachers, in Provence and Dauphiné, Calabria and Piedmont, Austria and Bohemia, Pomerania, Brandenburg, Silesia and beyond. The Poor of Lyons constituted the only medieval heresy to have survived to the dawn of the so-called 'modern' period. Their tale of simple devotion mixed with a fierce tenacity serves to illuminate aspects of religious belief that have persisted to the present day. This book was first published in 1999., The Poor of Lyons, whom their detractors called "Waldensians"--after the name of their founder Waldo (or Vaud s)--first emerged around 1170 and formed a sect that embraced evangelism, prophesy and poverty.
