Hi Giselle

Don't know how Andrea feels about Cathares but if there isn't a Forum, I'd
be happy to set one up - was talking to people today about Rennes-Chateau
and the like and it's a big thing down this end of France. The problem is
tying the Crusade/Inquisition into French history, especially from a
genealogical viewpoint. If people think that reading copies or even better,
the originals in middle French is difficult, reading the Inquisition
material in the original is even more difficult - still lots of
transcriptions about now so they would help.

And of course the Cathares were NOT the forerunners of Protestantisme or the
Eglise Reformee - their beliefs were so dissimilar to those of the
Protestantes as to make them almost a religion/culte on their own which is
of course, why the Catholic north of the country and Papal interests
attacked them.

As for a Latin dictionary, if you look on one of the book seller sites -
Amazon or the like, should get one there. If not try an Italian dictionary,
can often help.

Regards

Tony Fuller
