Reviewed in the United States on 12 July 2006Verified Purchase
There is nothing else available like this collection of original sources from the Middle Ages on the theory and reality of heresy and its persecution. Peters presents foundational texts, well-chosen and diverse in character: not just theoretical tracts and official pronouncements, but also court records, popular stories about saints, and other material. The commentary that Peters provides is very limited. For an area of knowledge where there's an awful lot of myth and rumor and gossip -- Templars, witches, underground cults, the like -- this collection is sober and solid. We need to understand the idea of heresy and what it meant (and means): this book is an important resource for doing that.
