Corrections and additions

Chapter 1

• p.3: ‘Numbers 21 to 26 in the Collection Doat contain texts produced during the thirteenth century by the two centres of inquisition in Languedoc, Toulouse and Carcassonne’. Though this is correct, it may mislead. These are the particular volumes containing registers of inquisition records going from the 1230s to the 1280s. Other parts of the inquisition archives of Toulouse and Carcassonne were copied into other Doat volumes. In addition to nos 21-26, nos 7, 11, 16, 18, 27-37 are analysed in Y. Dossat, Les crises de l’inquisition Toulousaine au XIIIe siècle (1233-1273) (Bordeaux, 1959), ch. 1.
• Ch 1.v ‘Libraries and modern scholarship’:The account of later scholarly use of the register of interrogations omitted Claude Devic’s and Joseph Vaissète’s Histoire générale de Languedoc, 5 vols (Paris, 1730-45) – cited here from its third edition, 16 vols (Toulouse, 1872-1905), where the relevant passage is vol. 8, pp. 37-8. Vaissète had read the register, and distilled some of its contents in one densely packed page, noting the flight of heretics from southern France to various cities in Lombardy, which he listed, and the remarkable joining of three bishops of heretics in a heretication at Sirmione. It is not completely clear whether he was reading the medieval register 6, or the Doat copy, though his transcription of original registers elsewhere suggests the former.

Text

• p. 572-3 and note 3 on Caunes: Note W.L. Wakefield’s reconstruction of Caunes as the centre for a while of Ferrier’s inquisitions, in his ‘Friar Ferrier, inquisition at Caunes, and escapes from prison at Carcassonne’, Catholic Historical Review 58 (1972), 220-37 (at 231).

Index of persons, medieval

• p. 1063: William of Puylaurens, 55 and 85 should be 56 and 86.

The transcription

• One statement about the transcription needs comment. It has been asserted that modern scholars, including the editors of Inquisitors and Heretics, have made a mistake with Doat 25 fol. 216v (p. 620). The claim is that the ms reads ‘et hoc in vulgaria’, and that this has been mistakenly read and edited as ‘et hoc in Bulgaria’.
  The claim is wrong. The script in the Doat ms is completely clear. It reads ‘et hoc in Bulgaria’.
