The Corruption of Angels: The Great Inquisition of 1245-1246

The Corruption of Angels: The Great Inquisition of 1245-1246

Mark Gregory Pegg builds a richly textured understanding of social life in southern France in the early thirteenth century. The Corruption of Angels shows how heretical and orthodox beliefs flourished side by side and, more broadly, what life was like in one particular time and place. Pegg's passionate and beautifully written evocation of a medieval world will fascinate a diverse readership within and beyond the academy.
