What made a belief “heretical” in the medieval world? This volume invites you to explore how religious dissent emerged and spread across Europe and the eastern Mediterranean. Instead of treating heresy as marginal, it shows a connected landscape where ideas travel, adapt, and take root. Drawing on manuscripts, beliefs, and lived practices, the chapters reveal how heterodox beliefs shaped everyday life. They also examine how medieval dissent is reinterpreted in modern historiography and echoed in modern essayistic writing. By linking past and present and combining history, philology, and comparative analysis, this book offers a dynamic view of religious difference.
