Opis

In AD 1000 heresy had barely been heard of, yet within a few generations accusations were commonplace and institutions had been set up to identify beliefs seen as departures from true religion. This book examines evidence of the time and looks at the motives of those who conducted the war on heresy.

Recenzje

This is a jaw-dropping book. Thrilling, unsettling, revelatory. Tom Holland
