It is the single most concentrated statement of the revisionist position and the natural citation for the debate itself, distinct from the fuller narrative the book provides.FactsClaims Backed By This Source (9 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsCitationAuthorWell-attestedMark Gregory PeggPublisherWell-attestedJournal of Medieval History, vol. 27, no. 2, pp. 181-195Publication YearWell-attested2001URLWell-attestedhttps://doi.org/10.1016/S0304-4181(01)00008-2Source TypeWell-attestedJournal articleAssessmentReliability TierWell-attested1Pegg's direct peer-reviewed statement of the revisionist argument, arguing that "Cathars", "Albigenses" and an organised heretical church are categories built by inquisitors and later historians rather than plain descriptions of what existed in Languedoc.Claims Backed By This Source (9 claims)This source backs 9 claims across the atlas.
