   • The scene of this activity was southern France, where the embers of Petrobrusianism were ready to be kindled into flame.1888, Henry Charles Lea, A History of the Inquisition of the Middle Ages, volume 1, page 70
   • In the sixties of the twelfth century, however, it became clear that neither Peter the Venerable's tract against Petrobrusianism, nor St. Bernard's mission of preaching in Languedoc in 1145, had dampened heretical enthusiasm.2011, Edward Peters, Heresy and Authority in Medieval Europe, University of Pennsylvania Press, page 105
