The Early Humiliati

More about the book

Focusing on a group of late twelfth-century religious enthusiasts known as the early Humiliati, this study explores their journey from condemnation as heretics in 1184 to reconciliation and the establishment of a successful religious order in northern Italy. It reconstructs the movement's nature and institutional development using diverse sources. Additionally, the book features a Bullarium Humiliatorum, which includes a collection of papal and episcopal letters and privileges, enriching the understanding of the Humiliati's historical context.
