«Cathares: la contre-enquête» is the historical essay by Anne Brenon and Jean-Philippe de Tonnac, published by Albin Michel in paperback (423 pages, in French).
Jean-Philippe de Tonnac interviews Anne Brenon, a Catharism specialist, to separate myth from reality. It covers the daily life of the «bons hommes», their beliefs, liturgy, and foundational texts. Catharism appears as a non-violent Christian movement, not eradicated by preaching, but exterminated after decades of Inquisition.
Published on 30 April 2008. The work is set within the history of medieval Christian heresies and the Albigensian movement.
For readers of medieval history interested in Catharism, heresy, and the Inquisition.
Annie Brenon, known as Anne Brenon is a French writer and historian, specialising in Catharism. She is the founder of Heresis, a review on Catharism and other medieval heresies and from 1982 to 1998 was director of the Centre national d'études cathares René-Nelli in Carcassonne.
