Customer Reviews
Superb Book - Rated If you are looking for an easy to read, yet factual and informative book on the Cathars, then this is the one to get. A great writing style, and a passion for the subject is clear. A Very Good Introduction to Catharism - Rated Sean Martin's book on The Cathars is a worthy follow-up to his best-selling book on the Templars. Like the Templars, Martin in this book recounts what we know of the Cathars, and also deals with the myths surrounding the sect (i.e. that they possessed the Holy Grail) without being judgmental about them. Overall, the book takes a deeply sympathetic pro-Cathar view-point and differs from most other treatments of the subject by including chapters not only on the south of France, where Catharism what as its strongest and where the Albigensian Crusade took place, but also includes material on the Cathars in Italy and Bosnia. Martin also puts the heresy in the context of the development of dualism, and also of the church reforms of the High Middle Ages. The book is easy to read and clearly written. All in all, a perfect introduction to the subject.
