Opis

This book is the first major study in English of a group of late twelfth-century religious enthusiasts, the early Humiliati, who were condemned by the Church as heretics in 1184 but--in a remarkable transition--were reconciled seventeen years later and went on to establish a highly successful religious order in northern Italy. Using a wide range of sources, the nature of the early movement and its processes of institutional development are reconstructed. The book also includes a Bullarium Humiliatorum, a list of papal and episcopal letters and privileges.

Recenzje

'Frances Andrews has given us the first major study of the movement in English. It is attractively written, clearly argued book and very solidly documented. It is an excellent book.' The Times Literary Supplement
