Here are some facts about the Waldensians: The Waldensians originated in a small region of the Cottian Alps in Northern Italy. The Waldensians sought to follow Christ in poverty and simplicity, and rejected some Catholic tenets. The Waldensians were declared heretical in 1215 for not recognizing the authority of local bishops over their preaching. The Waldensians joined the European Reformation in 1532. The Waldensians' official language is French, which became the language of the Waldensian church as they became more aligned with Protestantism. One of the Waldensian beliefs is that laypeople can teach and preach to their followers.============================Johann Jacob Grasser (1579 – 1627) was a scholar and polyhistor of Basel. He studied theology and was active as a poet, in the sciences and in geography. He was Magister Artium and Poeta laureatus in Basel in 1601. He travelled across Switzerland and in Europe during 1603 to 1608. When he was in Nîmes, he wrote a treatise on the Roman antiquities there which was reprinted several times. In 1607, he was given the title of Count Palatine by the Imperial Commissioner in Padua, from which time he styled himself as Ioannes Iacobus Grasserus, Civis Romanus, Comes Palatinus.He was pastor in Bennwil and Hölstein during 1610 to 1612, and sacristan at St. Theodore church in Basel during 1612 to 1627. He published various editions and translations, besides his own works of moderate Calvinist theology, historiography and travel literature.
