On two hundred and one days between May 1, 1245, and August 1, 1246, more than five thousand people from the Lauragais were questioned in Toulouse about the heresy of the good men and the good women (more commonly known as Catharism). Nobles and diviners, butchers and monks, concubines and physicians, blacksmiths and pregnant girls--in short, all men over fourteen and women over twelve--were summoned by Dominican inquisitors Bernart de Caux and Jean de Saint-Pierre. In the cloister of the Saint-Sernin abbey, before scribes and witnesses, they confessed whether they, or anyone else, had ever seen, heard, helped, or sought salvation through the heretics. This inquisition into heretical depravity was the single largest investigation, in the shortest time, in the entire European Middle Ages. Mark Gregory Pegg examines the sole surviving manuscript of this great inquisition with unprecedented care--often in unexpected ways--to build a richly textured understanding of social life in southern France in the early thirteenth century. He explores what the interrogations reveal about the individual and communal lives of those interrogated and how the interrogations themselves shaped villagers' perceptions of those lives. The Corruption of Angels, similar in breadth and scope to Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie's Montaillou, is a major contribution to the field. It 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.… (mer)

THE CORRUPTION OF ANGELS:
THE GREAT INQUISITION OF 1245-1246

Between May 1, 1245, and August 1,
1246, more than five thousand people
were intensively questioned in Toulouse
about the "heresy of the good men and
good women" (commonly, though
incorrectly, known as Catharism). Mark
Gregory Pegg examines the sole surviving
manuscript of this great inquisition
with unprecedented care-often in
unexpected ways-to build a richly textured
understanding of life in southern
France in the early thirteenth century
This book is a passionate evocation of
the vibrant rhythms by which thousands
of medieval men and women lived their
lives through half a century of holy war
and religious persecution.
Ajn attractive and readable book on a
sombre theme."

COLIN MORRIS
Times Literary
"Pegg's book lis] provocative, colorful,
and flowing with adrenaline! There
is much to remind one of Carlo
Ginzburg's The Cheese and the Worms:
the deep reading of one set of interrogations .. .
the high ambition, and
the extraordinary panache with which
the project is realized.. . . Pegg has
pulled off a tour de force. His book
is superbly written: as unputdownable
as a thriller."

"In Mark Gregory Pegg the testimonies
of the great inquisition of 1245-46
have found a historian with the erudition
and imagination to exploit their
riches. Emmanuel Le Roy Laduries
Montaillou, is also, of course, based
on a register of inquisitions in the
Languedoc, some half century later
than this one. But Pegg sets a new
standard in the theoretical sophistication
and consistency--a
grace-with which it is done. This book
is the most sensitive and searching
account of the religion of country people
in any part of Europe in the High
Middle Ages known to me."

Pegg examines a manuscript, known as "manuscript 609", which is a partial copy of the transcripts from the Inquisition in Toulouse. He argues that the inquisitors defined people's identities based on actions rather than beliefs, and that thus identity was seen as relational; that through their questions they redefined how people saw themselves; and that to talk of any international heretical "Cathar" church in the thirteenth century is ridiculous. However, while he pays lip service to the problematics of writing history, he doesn't fully address them. For instance, he acknowledges that the scribes transcribing the answers people gave in the vernacular translated them into Latin, transforming their statements into stock phrases in the process. But then he goes on to draw conclusions from the similarity in different people's responses to the same questions. How can you know this similarity exists in anything other than the scribes translation? ( )
