My Book

Les chemins des derniers Cathars – Ingrid Sparbier

The paths travelled around Montaillou in 14^th C.

This study is based on the registers of the inquisitor Jacques Fournier. I picked out all the place names which I then compared to ancient maps (Cassini – Napolean Land Registry) to see which paths the people would have taken to travel from one place to the next. Based on my findings I then devised a route map around Montaillou in the 14^th C to reflect this.

This study is my dissertation in 1997 for DGIN (Dilplôme de Guide – Interprète National) in Perpignan. Tutor: André Bonnery

Price: 15.00€ (carriage included)
