G'morning Tony, I'd love to see a Cathares forum. Certainly there are enough Cathar sites that are not forums to indicate sufficient interest. Is there anything I can do to help? Off site I am gembry@edd.ca.gov or coconut1@cox.net Giselle Embry -----Original Message----- From: huguenots-walloons-europe-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:huguenots-walloons-europe-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of fuller.tony Sent: Monday, November 27, 2006 1:15 PM To: huguenots-walloons-europe@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [HWE] French History/Cathares 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.
