The task of understanding the significance of any religious movement in its historical context normally depends upon documents being available for description and analysis. In the case of the humiliati this is almost impossible. Such documentary evidence as exists for the period 1179 to 1216 comes not from the humiliati themselves but from others whose reasons for mentioning them varied considerably - suggestions as to why this is so will be made as the paper develops. Analysing these sources for information about the humiliati will thus be difficult. Nevertheless, as these documents cover certain aspects peculiar to the movement, they can be used to indicate such information as the humiliati might themselves have given. Indeed, if carefully pieced together, an even more coherent whole can appear on the principle that onlookers see more of the game than the players. The scope of this paper therefore is to examine the sources available in an attempt to show something of the early history of the humiliati ; bearing in mind all the time, the limitations involved; the inevitable omissions in such accidental or incidental evidence; and the demonstrable bias which will be found to exist. That these documents are few in number and only rarely rich in detail increases the difficulty
