“This year,” he writes, “many pious people
were cruelly destroyed for their religion, by order
of Pope Clement V. Over four hundred persons
were killed by hunger, cold, and the sword (of
these, however, we do not speak here), and one
hundred and forty were burned (these are the ones
of whom we speak), the principal teacher of whom,
together with his wife, very steadfastly endured
death.” Chron., page 649. A. from Henr. Boxh.,
fol. 26.

Note.—The reader should observe here, that
said hundred and forty martyrs, who at Novaria
were put to death by fire, are called special followers
of the doctrine of Dulcinus, are to be clearly distinguished
from a certain other number of about four
hundred persons who, having been surrounded on
the mountains, by the Pope’s crusade, lost their
lives by hunger, cold, and the sword; for not the
latter, but the former, are the ones whom we would
notice here.
