Defining heresy : inquisition, theology, and papal policy in the time of Jacques Fournier / by Irene Bueno ; translated from Italian by Isabella Bolognese, Tony Brophy and Sarah Rolfe Prodan.

In Defining Heresy, Irene Bueno investigates the methods and discourses of anti-heretical repression in the first half of the fourteenth century, focusing on the figure of Jacques Fournier/Benedict XII (c.1284-1342), bishop-inquisitor, theologian, and, eventually, pope at Avignon.
