this is a book that argues that a heresiological text about 12th century dualists in CONSTANTINOPLE called PATARENES are obviously referring to the same group as the "Cathars" in Languedoc, and makes no effort to corroborate this claim. WHYYYYYYY ARE MEDIEVALISTS LIKE THISSSSSSSSS

seriously give me anything, any citation, I swear on God above just cite the Acts of the Council of Saint-Felix or some other made up bullshit document, I'll eat it up. Just DO NOT talk about dualism in Languedoc like it's some undisputed fact!!!
