Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the relationship between the Waldensian poetry of the 13th to 16th centuries and that of the Protestant Vaudois. Drawing upon religious poems and prose essays from the era, the author argues that the Waldensians were the earliest authors of vernacular poetry in Europe. Despite centuries of persecution, Waldensian poetry retains vestiges of the Latin language not present in medieval or church Latin. The author contends that this indicates that their poetry was preserved faithfully over time, suggesting that it represents a poetic tradition that may stretch back to the ninth or tenth centuries. This book provides a valuable contribution to our understanding of the development of European poetry and the history of the Waldensians.
