Heresy And Inquisition In Narbonne (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781258024925)

""Heresy and Inquisition in Narbonne"" is a historical account of the religious conflicts that occurred in the city of Narbonne, France during the 13th and 14th centuries. Written by Richard Wilder Emery, the book explores the rise of Catharism, a religious movement that rejected the authority of the Catholic Church, and the subsequent efforts by the Church to suppress it through the Inquisition. Emery provides a detailed analysis of the social, political, and economic factors that contributed to the spread of Catharism in Narbonne, as well as the strategies used by the Church to combat it, including the establishment of the Inquisition and the use of torture and execution. The book also examines the role of the local nobility, who often supported the Cathars, and the impact of the conflict on the broader political landscape of France.Drawing on a range of primary sources, including inquisitorial records and contemporary chronicles, ""Heresy and Inquisition in Narbonne"" offers a nuanced and compelling portrait of a tumultuous period in French history. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of the Catholic Church, the Inquisition, or the medieval period more broadly.Studies In History, Economics And Public Law, No. 480.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
