Talk:Adamites

• • The image is mislabeled. The description is presently: Adamites dancing naked in the street.

Note, they are not dancing, they are being rounded up, with weapons like rifles. Thus, it is misnamed. 11:59, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

"During the Middle Ages the doctrines of this obscure sect, which did not itself exist long, were revived: in the 13th century in the Netherlands by the Brethren of the Free Spirit and the Taborites in Bohemia, and, in a grosser form, in the fourteenth by the Beghards in Germany"

I'm not sure how Adamite views characterised the Beghards? Maybe this should just refer to the Picards? (who's connection to the Beghards isn't certain). Alternatively we could say "in the fourteenth by some German Beghards"

Also not sure why this is 'grosser'?

It states

   in the 13th century in the Netherlands by the Brethren of the Free Spirit and the Taborites in Bohemia

and in the next paragraph

   The Taborite movement was started in 1419

1419 is in C15 not C13.

There seems to be no quotes or citations on the early adamites and their practices. this article seems to be an excerpt from some other book and does not give any information on the origins of its opinions. I cannot find in early writing on the adamites anything on adamites nontraditional behavior, other than being nudist and according to Epiphanius of Salamis not believing in the institution of marriage.
