This is the first one-volume scholarly account in English of the Waldenses - a movement comprising various forms of religious dissidence and self-expression that was founded in the late twelfth century.

The Waldenses, like the Franciscans, emerged from the apostolic movements within the Latin Church of the decades around 1200, but unlike the Franciscans they were driven underground. Not a full counter-Church, like the Cathar heretics, they formed a clandestine religious order, preaching to and hearing the confessions of their secret followers, and surviving until the Reformation. This volume begins by surveying modern historiography. Then, using both inquisition records from the Baltic to the Alps and the Waldenses' own books, the author deals with the asceticism of the Waldensian order, its practice of poverty and medicine, the culture of the Brothers and the preaching of the Waldensian Sisters, the way both used and mythicised history to support their position, and the composition of their followers. The final chapters examine their origins and authorship of the inquisitors' texts, and look through them to see how inquisitors viewed the Waldenses.

Excerpt from The Waldenses: Sketches of the Evangelical Christians of the Valleys of PiedmontThe Waldensian Church is the burning bush of Christendom. The history of that people presents to us little else than a series of ferocious persecutions, endured with the most heroic constancy.

Excerpt from The History of the Waldenses, Vol. 2 of 2: Connected With a Sketch of the Christian Church From the Birth of Christ to the Eighteenth CenturyHaving sketched the more prominent features of the Christian Church, for the first ten centuries, and arriving at that period in which we are to give the reader some aco count of the Waldemes, it will be proper to introduce the subject by an attempt to ascertain the origin of their distinguishing appellation. The learned Mosheim con tends with considerable pertinacity that they derive their name from Peter Waldo, an Opulent merchant of Lyons, whose history will presently come under our notice; but in this he is contradicted by his learned translator, and, I believe, I may truly add, by most writers o£ authority.

Excerpt from History of the Waldenses of Italy: From Their Origin to the ReformationWe shall here study the early period of Waldensian history. There is an idea with some, that its origin may be traced back to the very time of the first preaching of the Gospel; but it is important that this idea be disentangled from a confused mass Of legends. We shall find the first authentic source appearing with Waldo, and the disciples whom tradition has called by his name. From that time onward, we shall follow the sinuous course Of their followers' history down to the eve Of the Reformation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from History of the Waldenses, Vol. 2 of 2: With an Introductory Sketch of the History of the Christian Churches in the South of France and North of Italy, Till These Churches Submitted to the Pope, When the Waldenses Continued as Formerly Independent of the Papal SeeIn the present volume I have entered more extensively into the history of the Hussites, or United Brethren, than I originally intended. Consequently it is more valuable, and is larger than designed. Taking the Work altogether, I flatter myself that it forms the fullest account of the Waldenses, to be found in our language.I have seen facts and documents "relating to the ancient Albigenses and Waldenses, by the Rev. S. R. Maitland." He has collected a great many testimonies of the Romanists, and has translated a number of the same pieces which I have inserted in my former volume, but as that volume was printed before I saw his book, I could neither avail myself of his researches, nor give reasons, when I differ from him. Indeed, one of the chief differences is, that he thinks some of the documents to have been written a century or two later than the great majority of writers judge. But, as I have stated my inducements for believing the correctness of the dates usually assigned to them by Waldensian historians, as these reasons are calculated to answer his objections, and as I still view the grounds of my opinion to be satisfactory, no necessity urges me to enter into any formal controversy with Mr M. in this place. He allows the papers to be genuine, and I do not perceive that his reasonings affect the documents in the present volume.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from History of the Waldenses, Vol. 1 of 2The Introduction was originally much larger than at present. Some may think it still too extended, but I found that the history would not be complete without these statements, which are necessary in or der to shew that the Waldenses Of the Valleys were sprung from the primitive churches of Italy, and that the witnesses in France were a continuation of the original churches of that country.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The History of the Waldenses, Vol. 1 of 2: Connected With a Sketch of the Christian Church From the Birth of Christ to the Eighteenth CenturyThe History of the Christian Church, when prosecuted in minute detail, and in all its ramifi cations, is a ccpious theme, and has occupied the pens of many learned men, both of our own and other countries. The elaborate treatises of Ense bius, Du Pin, F leury, Mosheim, Priestley, Milner, and others of inferior consideration, have most of them been long before the public, and are all well known. To discuss the subject at large, or to enter into any competition with those works, as it is not to be expected in the compass of a single volume, so it must not be considered as having at all entered into the views of the present writer. The following pages, whatever may be their merits or defects, were not designed to instruct persons of general reading; for the au thor is fully aware that they contain little which is not familiar to that class of men. They were compiled with the view of communicating some.

The history of God's true Church, from Ireland, to the Waldenses, the struggle to preserve the Bible and the pure doctrine of the apostles is disclosed. "Truth Triumphant: The Church in the Wilderness" features the triumph of truth in the period from 538 to 1798, a chapter of God's leadings long hidden by intolerance and falsehood.

Excerpt from Facts and Documents: Illustrative of the History, Doctrine and Rites, of the Ancient Albigenses WaldensesMany writers have supposed the Albigenses and Waldenses to be the Witnesses predicted in the Apocalypse 5 and one of the most recent and popular advocates of this Opinion is Mr. Faber 5 who, in his Sacred Calendar of Prophecy, has endeavoured to maintain the high antiquity and orthodoxy of these sects. That part of his work being comparatively new, and only published by him since I had ceased to think that any of the systems, founded on the mystical interpretation of the 1260 days, required minute examination, remained almost unknown to me until my atten tion was recently called to it. Much as I had seen of the manner in which historical facts have been selected, distorted, and mis-stated, to sup port the system of the 1260 years, it was not without surprise that I read the testimonies which Mr. Faber has adduced in support of his opinion 5 and I felt that it was due to the cause of truth.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
