''' Bold text '''==Matters== at the moment, i anticipate using this space to clarify elements of current projects i am working on.

1) Cathars
Presently and (unfortunately) sporadically, I am in the proccess of transcribing some excerpts from a study on literature by women in the Middle Ages, in order that collaborators can review and comment on the text with regards to the question of whether or not there is adequate evidence that Catharism condoned and promoted a practice of ritualized suicide.

Excerpt from "Women Writers of the Middle Ages; A critical study of texts from Perpetua (†203) to Marguerite Porete (†1310)" By: Peter Dronke 1984, Cambridge University Press ISBN 0-521-27573-3 (Paperback)

The following excerpts are copyrighted material to the above named, and are reproduced here, in part, strictly and solely for the purpose of offering an accurate reference for consideration in determining certain historical facts as recorded in the study, and are in no way intended to represent any original work except by the above named author and publisher.
