"Biller, Bruschi and Sneddon are to be congratulated, and warmly thanked; this is a massive book, a huge labour and a great gift to other scholars." – John Arnold, Birkbeck College, London, in: The Journal of Ecclesiastical History 63/3 (July 2012), p. 601"This is an important collection, edited with great professionalism, with an informative introduction, detailed annotation, a calendar of depositions, and excellent indexes, all of which make the handing of the material so much easier and effective." – Malcolm Barber, in: The Catholic Historical Review 98/2 (2012), pp. 366-367"Inquisitors and Heretics in Thirteenth-Century Languedoc provides an invaluable resource in the history of inquisition by making available important primary source materials in text and translation for the first time […]. It is a treasure trove of documentary information and evidence for the modern scholar or student." – Larissa Tracy, Longwood University, in: The Sixteenth Century Journal 43/2 (2012), pp. 533-534"A volume such as this probably would never have seen the light of day without Brill, and that is a cause for gratitude. Biller and his collaborators not only present in the original Latin an extensive inquisitorial register concerning thirteenth-century heresy but accompany that with facing page English translations: some four hundred pages of Latin; some four hundred pages in English; and some three hundred added pages of introduction, bibliography, and indices. The days of athletic scholarship have not passed." – Robert E. Lerner, Northwestern University, in: Rivista di Storia del Cristianesimo X/1 (2013), p. 238"This is an important collection, edited with great professionalism, with an informative introduction, detailed annotation, a calendar of depositions, and excellent indexes, all of which make the handing of the material so much easier and effective." – Malcolm Barber, University of Reading
