Walter Map on the Waldensians

(From Walter Map, De nugis curialium - Courtiers’ Trifles, Distinctio i, c. 31, ‘Of the sect of the Valdesii’, i.e. Waldensians; trans. M. R. James (Cymmrodorion Record Series, 1923), pp. 65–6; text in Fearns, no. 11). Map’s tales must be read with a wary eye (see p. 72).
