Summary/Abstract: In this paper, Manuel Lorenz examines the exchange of dualistic beliefs between Byzantium, the Balkans and Central Europe (11th-13th centuries). After a detailed analysis of sources, in the course of which various scientific paradigms are critically commented on and partially revised, he comes to the conclusion that a transfer of dualistic thoughts between East (Bogomils) and West (Cathars) is quite probable. Moreover, he elaborates that the group of Bosnian ‘Christians’, which has received varied and controversial assessments in the literature, was exposed only to insignificant influence of dualistic ideas – whether from East or West.
