Matthias Flaccius Illyricus (Catal. Test. Verit.,
lib. 19, Tit. Stier.) declares to have heard from the
the lips of Michael Stifelius, that in a certain monastery,
in the city of Steyer, situated between Austria
and Bavaria, three large books containing the confessions
and examinations of very many persons who
had departed in belief from the Roman church,
were found.

I presume, says Illyricus, they were Waldenses,
a great number of whom were formerly scattered
not only in Austria and all Germany, but also
throughout all the countries of Europe.

“And truly,” says a certain author, “Illyricus is
not mistaken in his conjecture.” In the meantime
he calls them martyrs, but does not state in what
their martyrdom consisted, or with what death they
confirmed the power of their faith. See the large
Book of Christian Martyrs, fol. 479, col. 3, 4.
