The Poor of Lyons, whom their detractors called 'Waldensians' - after the name of their founder Waldo (or Vaudès) - first emerged around 1170 and formed in common with other groups of the period a sect which embraced evangelism, prophecy and poverty. By challenging their prohibition by the lay clergy, and by following the Scripture to the last letter, they suffered excommunication and were condemned as heretics. Forced underground and dispersed widely, they nevertheless managed to maintain contact across Europe, through an established network of itinerant preachers, in Provence and Dauphiné, Calabria and Piedmont, Austria and Bohemia, Pomerania, Brandenburg, Silesia and beyond. The Poor of Lyons constituted the only medieval heresy to have survived to the dawn of the so-called 'modern' period. Their tale of simple devotion mixed with a fierce tenacity serves to illuminate aspects of religious belief that have persisted to the present day. This book was first published in 1999.

Peu d'ouvrages se sont intéressés à la période de l'implantation et de la diffusion de la Réforme, soit les années 1530-1560. Le présent ouvrage, consacré à la Provence et au Comtat Venaissin, montre l'originalité de cette région à l'accueil des idées réformées. Les vaudois, issus de la dissidence des Pauvres de Lyon née au XIIe siècle, immigrés des vallées alpines et installés dans la région du Luberon, passèrent à la Réforme en 1532, constituant une communauté rurale solidement organisée. Par ailleurs des individus, dispersés dans toute la région, furent sensibles à la Réforme pour s'organiser plus tard à la mode genevoise de Calvin. La répression, royale et pontificale, finit par s'unifier sans pouvoir l'emporter, ouvrant sur les guerres de Religion. --
