_Reinerius--Inquisition in France._
Sir,--Faber, in his work on the Waldenses, quotes _Reinerius_, _in
Biblio. Patrum_. I have in vain looked in modern biographical
dictionaries for any account of Reinerius, so am constrained to inquire
of some of your readers, who and what he was, or to beg the favour of a
reference to some accessible account of him. I think Faber says he was
an inquisitor; and this is the extent of the information which I have
been able to collect respecting him.
I wish also to inquire whether his work on Heretics (his only work, I
presume) has been published in any other and more accessible form than
that in which it was referred to by Faber; and, particularly, whether it
has ever been translated into English.
I have often wished to know whether the tribunal of the Inquisition was
ever established elsewhere in France than at Toulouse. Can any of your
correspondents enlighten me on the point, and give me references in
proof?
