Understanding the Good: Medieval Inquisitions and Modern Religion
This essay responds to scholarly arguments that "religion" arose in the particular circumstances of the modern West, distinct chronologically and conceptually from medieval religio. It argues that in the Middle Ages, Christian persecution helped to form that very notion of religion. It does so via the register of heresy inquisitions conducted by Bishop Jacques Fournier in Pamiers (1318-1325), which contains a curious and overlooked Occitan phrase…
Herbert Grundmann (1902–1970): Essays on Heresy, Inquisition and Literacy, ed. Jennifer Kolpacoff Deane
