Mary Lafon is favorably cited as "one of the rare writers who have understood the history and doctrine of the Albigensians", thanks to his knowledge of the language of the people he studied. The religious issue is thus at the center of his history of the south and remains a valuable source for the history of the Waldensian and Albigensian heresies. A very complete copy of the 3 maps enhanced with watercolor.
