• Description: This paper studies the manuscript Firenze, Biblioteca nazionale centrale, Conventi soppressi, ms. J II 44 and it identifies hints of apocalyptic traditions within the additions to the main works. It is quite unexpected to find those apocalyptic tendencies because Catharism was a movement quite resistant to apocalypticism.
