Encyclopedia of Religion entry for

Bagnolenses

A branch of the Cathari in the thirteenth century. They were also called Baiolenses,. being named after Bagnolo or Baiolo, a town of Provence. They had much in common with the Albanenses (q.v.), and were perhaps forerunners of the Albigenses (q.v.).. They held that matter was created by God alone, but that out of it an evil spirit made the four elements, earth, air, fire, and water, and so formed the world. See J. H. Blunt.
