Help: Searching for a good reference book about Heresy

[Cat Lord]

Hello,

I am searching for a good reference book about Heresy during middle-age.

Ideally, it should contain all heresy (cathars, bogomiles, lollards, etc, etc...), with proper dates, and if possible maps of the area affected.

All in a single book would be appreciated...

Thanks,

Cat

For dualism see Steven Runciman's The Mediaeval Manichee: A Study of the Christian Dualist Heresy, eventually Yuri Stoyanov's more up-to-date The Other God: Dualist Religions from Antiqutiy to the Cathar Heresy. Stoyanov gives a very thorough discussion of dualism...

For a general run-down on heresies you could try Gill Evans' A Brief History of Heresy or Malcolm D. Lambert's Medieval Heresy: Popular Movements from the Gregorian Reform to the Reformation . I haven't read either of these though...

Looks more like what I am looking for.

Did anyone read those ?

I bought this one in the end:

Medieval Heresy: Popular Movements from the Gregorian Reform to the Reformation , Malcolm D. Lambert

Quite academic, but seems to be very complete (but focused on Western Heresy, mostly).

If you are interested by this book, and speak French, I made a complete critic here: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?p=3211915

Not sure I will translate it though o
