Jean Guiraud (I 866-1953) a laissé des Souvenirs qui portent sur ses années de formation et sa carrière d'enseignant, première phase de son activité professionnelle avant son entrée à La Croix où il fut co-rédacteur en chef de 1917 à 1939.

The edited text shows a Cathar hierarchy in exile in Italy, a Cathar revival in Languedoc, and its destruction by a re-launched inquisition. Inquisitors’ questioning led to depositions which are extraordinarily colourful and lively, and in this they anticipate the circumstantial detail of the early fourteenth century depositions upon which Le Roy Ladurie’s famous Montaillou was based.
