Mystics And Heretics In Italy At The End Of The Middle Ages (1922)

""Mystics And Heretics In Italy At The End Of The Middle Ages"" is a historical book written by Emile Gebhart and first published in 1922. The book explores the religious beliefs and practices of various mystics and heretics in Italy during the late Middle Ages, including the Cathars, Waldensians, and Beguines. Gebhart examines the social, political, and economic factors that contributed to the rise of these movements, as well as the ways in which they challenged the established Catholic Church. The book also includes biographical sketches of important figures in these movements, such as St. Francis of Assisi and St. Catherine of Siena. Gebhart's writing is accessible and engaging, making this book an excellent resource for anyone interested in the history of religion and spirituality in medieval Italy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
