Paperback. Condition: New. The Cathars: not the largest heretical movement of the Middle Ages, but a modern invention? Richly illustrated and supplemented by the translations of central sources, the book introduces into their complex history the idea that these famous heretics were constructed as an enemy image in the High Middle Ages and then became a myth in modern times.The Cathars are considered the largest heretical movement of the Middle Ages, a kind of counter-church, ultimately destroyed by crusaders and inquisitors.

Reich bebildert und ergänzt durch die Übersetzungen zentraler Quellen führt der Band erstmals in die komplexe Geschichte dieser 'Erfindung' ein. Sprache: Deutsch.…
