First sentence: The title of the present book pays respect to tradition, c. 1000 as a conventional starting-point in the history of medieval heresy, and c. 1530. the beginnings of Waldensian adhesion to Reform, as its conventional end; the chapters are not straitjacketed by those precise years, but go back into the early middle ages and reach well into the sixteenth century.
