"Summa fratris Raynerii de Catharis et Leonistis seu pauperibus de Lugduno" or THE SUMMA OF BROTHER RAINERIUS OF THE ORDER OF PREACHERS ON THE CATHARS AND THE POOR OF LYONS (1250 AD) is one Dominican friar's polemic against his former co-religionists wherein he lays bare some of the diverse doctrines of the mature Cathar movement in Southern France and surrounding regions in the decades following the Albigensian crusade.
