Description

Explore the life of Peter of Verona, a central figure of the thirteenth-century Dominican order. This scholarly work examines his journey from a family with Cathar sympathies to his conversion to Catholicism and his rise as a powerful preacher. As one of the first generations of Dominicans, Peter represents the early history of the order. The book covers his role as one of the earliest and most famous papal inquisitors for Lombardy. It details the events leading up to his 1252 assassination by a cabal of Milanese heretics, providing a deep look into the religious landscape of the medieval West. Part of the Church, Faith and Culture in the Medieval West series, this volume offers a detailed look at a man whose influence sometimes eclipsed even Dominic himself. It serves as a necessary resource for readers interested in medieval history, religious studies, and the history of the Inquisition.
