This small and obscure sect perished in the flames around the same time as
the Amalricians; perhaps--although some scholars would dispute this--they
met their fate at Strasbourg c.1211. All the information I have about them
is quite old and sketchy. Does anyone out there in wild-blue-yonder know of
some recent discussion, possibly in German, of the Ortliebians? Their
theological views, if reported correctly, were fairly strange, even for
13thc. heretics. Grundmann's work on heresy says very little about them.
What I have about them dates mostly from the early years of our
disappearing century.
