Introduction; the Chronicle.
W.A. SIBLY is a former Domus Exhibitioner in Classics at Balliol College, Oxford; M.D. SIBLY is a Fellow of St Anne's College, Oxford. They have also translated Peter of Res Vaux de Cernay's History of the Albigensian Crusade (also published by Boydell & Brewer).
This edition of the chronicle becomes a good route into the whole
topic. This is an excellent, scholarly, and accessible translation,
for which all of us interested in France, heresy, inquisition, or
crusade should be very grateful.

much of this material.
