Beautiful hardcover edition of this work devoted to the Cagots, a community spread over all the villages of the South-West that has been discriminated against for centuries. Some would say that this contempt had something to do with leprosy, a disease that wreaked havoc during the Middle Ages. You will discover the part of true and false in these pages.
Very good condition.
