The Medieval Podcast | The Language of Heresy with Erin Wagner
With just one word, we can evoke a world of assumptions, stereotypes, and even accusations, clearly marking the difference between who's in and who's out. And when it comes to legal terminology, the stakes are even higher. This week, Daniele speaks with Erin Wagner about what late medieval people meant when they used the word heresy, how the usage evolved, and how medieval people applied ideas of heresy beyond the borders of Christianity.
