medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I am sure I will not be the only one to suggest

I believe the original English hardback was Scolar Press, 1978.
This is based on the Inquisition transcripts of the investigation.

> Hi folks --

> Another related (as far as the fiction is concerned) question. I'm given

> Middle Ages and Renaissance that a lot of priests/prelates were
> magicians, natural philosophers, Gnostics, occultists,

> in priests who are secretly magicians, heretics or demonolaters).

> Thanks very much in advance! (And by the way, thanks for the running
> "Saint of the Day" posts...most informative.)
