B01859 - History of the Waldenses

The Waldenes were among the first of the people of Europe to obtain a translation of the Holy Scriptures. Hundreds of years before the Reformation they possessed the Bible in manuscript in their native tongue. Here the light of truth was kept burning amid the darkness of the Middle Ages. Here, for a thousand years, witnesses for the truth maintained the ancient faith.

Important Note:

Wylie’s history of the Waldenses is an important historical document that needs to be read. This edition has been republished by a Seventh Day Adventist group. Although they have not altered or edited Wylie’s actual text, two pages were inserted at the front with quotes from Ellen G. White. Ironically, Dr. Samuele Bacchiocchi, himself an SDA, and recognized as a scholar, has dismissed any idea that the Waldenses were Sabbath keepers.

I spent several hours searching for an answer in the two scholarly volumes Storia dei Valdesi--(History of the Waldenses), authored by Amedeo Molnar and Augusto Hugon. These two books were published in 1974 by the Claudiana, which is the official Italian Waldensian publishing house. They are regarded as the most comprehensive history of the Waldenses. To my regret I found no allusion whatsoever to Sabbathkeeping among the Waldenses.”
