.

30 Le Père Sermet, “Recherches historiques sur l’Inquisition de Toulouse”, in Mémoires de l’Académie royale des sciences, inscriptions et belles-lettres de Toulouse, vol. IV (1790), p. 46. The documents mentioned by Sermet as having been discovered by the Abbé Magi were published in the same volume; they refer to the year 1245 only.

34 J. J. Percin, op. cit., p. no. Cf. p. 102, where the name of Pierre Guidonis is associated with a supposed letter from King Philip VI, dated 1334. The letter derives, through La Faille, from Bardin, and is almost certainly spurious. Percin was in any case the first to connect it, quite arbitrarily, with the name of Pierre Guidonis.

35 Lamothe-Langon, op. cit., vol. III, p. 231. Percin also supplies Lamothe-Langon with other information about the names and dates of inquisitors, much of it wrong.

, Paris, 1612, especially pp. 66–75, 89–90, 128-31, 140, 145, 175, 195-8, 216-17.

37 On Georgel see the article in Michaud, Biographie universelle. The name is so uncommon that no other Georgel appears in Michaud. His book is entitled Mémoires pour servir à l’histoire des événemens de la fin du dix-huitième siècle, depuis 1760 jusqu’en 1806–1810. On Delort see the article in Rabbe and Boisjolin, Biographie universelle et portative des contemporains, vol. II, Paris, 1834. The name is so uncommon that no Delort appears in Michaud’s Biographie universelle. Unlike Lamothe-Langon, Joseph Delort was clearly a trained historian with some competence in paleography. Cf. his Essai critique sur l’histoire de Charles VII..., Paris, 1824, p. 2, and the “pièces justificatives” at pp. 173 seq.

45 Hansen, Quellen, p. 56, n. 1, suggested that Ioannes de Plotis must be a misreading of Ioannes Visconti, who was bishop of Novara from 1331 to 1342.
