Source heading; not independently verified

In the year 1285, there became known, and were
proclaimed heretics by the adherents of popery,
Gerard Sagarellus of Parma, and Dulcinus of Novaria.
Both of them were particularly accused, on
account of various articles opposed to the Roman
church and her superstitions, with which they were
charged, of having fallen into heresy, and having
borrowed their belief from the Waldenses, which,
writes Abr. Mellinus, is quite presumable.

As to the articles which they confessed contrary
to the belief of the Roman church, and on account
of which they were called heretics, they are written
in the second book of the Hist. of the Persecutions,
fol. 470, col. 3.

Finally, as Gerard Sagarellus would not depart
from, but continue steadfast in, the truth of his
Savior, Jesus Christ, he was (in the same year, it is
supposed) burnt alive in the city of Parma, by the
blood-thirsty inquisitors. A. Mell., p. 470, col. 3.
Also, Bal. Cent. 4, cap. 30, in Append. ad Laurent.
Angl.

Dulcinus, who, besides the charge of his true
faith, was also assailed with great calumnies, was
put to death in great steadfastness some years afterwards.
However, of this a fuller account will be
given for the year 1308.

Note.—Since the death of Dulcinus did not occur
the year in which Sagarellus died, but long afterwards,
we will reserve the account of the same for
the proper time and place. Bear this in mind.
