The European Union in Prophecy
For the history of the Waldenses some of the more recent, reliable works are: E.
Comba, History of the Waldenses in Italy (see later Italian edition published in Torre
Pellice, 1934); E. Gebhart, Mystics and Heretics (Boston, 1927); G. Gonnet, Il
Valdismo Medioevale, Prolegomeni (Torre Pellice, 1935); and Jalla, Histoire des
Vaudois et leurs colonies (Torre Pellice, 1935).
Page 77. Edict Against the Waldenses.--A considerable portion of the text of the
papal bull issued by Innocent VIII in 1487 against the Waldenses (the original of
which is in the library of the University of Cambridge) is given, in an English
translation, in John Dowling's History of Romanism (1871 ed.), b. 6, ch. 5, sec. 62.
Page 85. Wycliffe.--The historian discovers that the name of Wycliffe has many
different forms of spelling. For a full discussion of these see J. Dahmus, The
Prosecution of John Wyclyf (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1952), p. 7.
