Medieval Inquisitors' Theory of Sects
Original language description
This paper focuses on how thirteenth- and fourteenth century inquisitors conceived of beliefs, practices, and functioning of non-conformist Christian groups. The inquisitors? view of what constitutes a heretical sect and how it works was relatively specific in at least three respects. First, it was strikingly historical and geographical: the inquisitors were interested in the historical and geographic dimensions of heretical sects, including the changes that particular heretical rituals, doctrines, andcommunities undergo in time. Second, the inquisitors were strikingly interested in distinguishing the different groups and subgroups, and produced elaborate classifications and comparisons. Finally, the inquisitors, driven by their need for hard evidencemeeting procedural requirements, somewhat shifted the notion of heresy from inner beliefs to observable rituals and habits.
