商品簡介
This fine translation provides English readers with a recent and thought-provoking work of medieval history by Iogna-Pratt (director of research at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Paris, France). The study begins with an investigation of the terms order and authority and their use to define Christianity's role in European affairs. Next, Iogna- Pratt examines the composition and theology behind the tract by the abbot of Cluny, Peter the Venerable, against the heretic Peter Bruis. The book's second half develops the ideas presented in this tract as it examines the policies and doctrine directed against all who qualified as heretics and infidels, i.e. the Jews and Muslims, according to the leaders of the immensely powerful monastery of Cluny.
