ABSTRACT
JANAC church is a thirteenth-century building, an expiation for heresy. This village is on the northernmost fringe of that country infected by the strange beliefs of the Albigeois or Cathares. In these lands were practised the first inquisitions, predecessors to that Spanish Institution which has gained so great a notoriety; Fra Angelico, even, considered the Albigeois important enough for his paint-brush, and Simon de Montfort hoped upon the debris of their recantation to found a new royalty in opposition to that of France.
