Collections of Original Documents

There are records of the proceedings and sentences pronounced in the Inquisitions in the South of France in Liber sententiarum Inquisitionis Tholosanae, 1307-13, printed as an appendix to Philippe à Limborch, Historia Inquisitionis (Amsterdam, 1692). Note that this Liber sententiarum is not included in Chandler’s English translation of Limborch. These are the sentences pronounced by Bernard Gui. The proceedings of the Inquisition of Carcassonne, notably the sentences of Bernard de Caux, are contained in Documents pour servir à l’histoire de l’Inquisition dans le Languedoc (ed. C. Douais, Paris, 1900).

There are exceedingly useful extracts from original documents of various sorts relating to mediæval heresies in the following:

J. J. Döllinger, Beiträge zur Sektensgeschichte (Munich, 1890), vol. ii.

P. Frédéricq, Corpus documentorum Inquisitionis haereticae pravitatis Nederlandicae (Ghent, 1889-1906), vols., i-iii.

For the edicts of ecclesiastical Councils the best collection is:

P. Labbe, G. D. Mansi, etc., Sacrorum conciliorum nova et amplissima collectio (Paris, 1901-13), esp. vol. xxii, 1166-1225; vol. xxiii, 1225-1268; vol. xxiv, 1269-1299; vol. xxv, 1300-1344; vol. xxvi, 1344-1409.

For papal bulls between 1198 and 1304 see A. Potthast, Regesta Pontificum Romanorum (Berlin, 1874 et seq.).

Important documents relating to the Dominican order are in Ripoll et Brémond, Bullarium ordinis S. Dominici (8 vols., Rome, 1737 et seq.).
