The Waldensians (also known as the Waldenses or Vaudois) are a sect of Christians from the Piedmont Valley whose origins are still debated. Some believe they formed in the Middle Ages, following a street merchant and preacher named Peter Waldo around the year 1170. Others claim that Waldensian church history can be traced back to the Apostles. What is known for sure is that their religious practices and beliefs preceded, and mirrored, those of the Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth century. But at the heart of Waldensian history is the story of their survival through centuries of persecution and martyrdom.

In A History of the Vaudois Church from Its Origin, and of the Vaudois of Piedmont to the Present Day, Antoine Monastier posits that the Vaudois Church is the link that unites Protestant Churches directly to the primitive Churches born from the apostles. Beginning with the state of the Christian Church at the accession of the emperor Constantine, Monastier provides a succinct history of the Christian Church in general before focusing on the origin of the Vaudois Church and its history up to the nineteenth century. Includes dozens of illustrations and maps.
