Composer Duvernois Biography
At first he worked as a legal adviser, married a Toulouse, became the father of three children, and, according to him, "he was in love with history even before he became an amateur historian." He always liked to define himself that way. About the first years in Toulouse and about acquaintance with catarism, Jean Duvernois wrote: I arrived in Toulouse in the year.
I was idle then, and went to buy detective novels with an opportunity from Georges Us, on the street Thor, where professors of literature often came with pleasure. Notebooks of Qatari studios were also sold there, which Deodat Rocher himself brought here. It was possible ... to meet Pierre de Berne-Lecard, who replenished the collection of works on the catarism, which he described in the bibliography of Languedoc's catarism G.
of all, he was most informed of all, but he was attracted by the philosophical aspect of the problems that stem from dualism, as this aspect seduced Simon Vale in the city, without a doubt, and without a doubt happened with the canonian Etienne Delyarwell, professor of the Catholic Institute, one of the rare specialists who can understand what extraordinary opening was the father Antoine Dondin, the French Dominican who worked in Rome and published in the city A book about two principles, an authentic Qatari treatise discovered in Florence.
This was only the beginning of his discoveries, which ended, alas, in the year, since the church authorities sent him to work on the manuscripts of St. Thomas Aquinas. On his part, it was too careless to write about another authentic catarrh treatise, which he found in the text of Waldensa’s refutation: “This is an extremely formidable opponent, and the traditional interpretation of the sacred text by fathers and Christian pedans was clearly not enough for the Catholic opponent to win a public dispute over him.” Studies in the field of catarism led Jean Duvernois to the register of the Inquisition of Jacques Fournier, Bishop Pamier, which he deciphered and published by Privat, this gold resident of the information was used by Emmanuel Le Roy Lyadyuri in his bestseller "Montaeu, the Oxitan Village", marked the beginning of the modern study of oxitan catarism.
By a happy chance, even before they began to talk about this in Toulouse, I read a polemic treatise, where the theses of catarrh and Waldenses were contrasted. But in Toulouse, I also learned about how important sources of the Inquisition are about the content of volumes of funds of the National Library, on the basis of which IV Dossat published his theses in the G. The latter acted on me as a lightning strike.
I finished his translation in the city of this translation also caught the eye of Professor Emmanuel Le Roy Lyaduri, who, together with the filmmaker, Jean-Marcom Luyon, first created a small television drama, and then wrote the famous “Montiayu, the Oxyan village”. Needless to say, this was done with my consent? He also achieved the official status of the publication of my translation.
Meanwhile, I published my catarism in two volumes, the religion of the Cathars and the history of catarrh in the year participated together with Rene Nelly in the foundation of the National Center for Catarism, the Department of OD, for many years, who worked with leading European and American experts in the field of study of catarism and the inquisition and published work such as the village, D.
Muller, P. Biller, M. Lambert, B. Kinzli, I. Hagman, F. Zambon, E. Riparelli, M. Lose, F. Fanek and many others.
