About this title: The sect that arose during the 11th- and 12th-centuries around the town of Albi, France was influenced by a Persian religious figure, Marni, who advocated a dualistic picture of the universe. The Catholic Church determined that the sect was heretical and, in 1208, launched a crusade that destroyed the Albigensian way of life. This book is both a history of the crusade and an appreciation of the rich Albigensian culture.
