Relating to Amaury of Bène (Amalric) or his heretical theological beliefs, particularly pantheism and skepticism about Christian doctrine.
From Medieval Latin 'Amalricus,' the Latinized name of 12th-century French theologian Amaury of Bène. His name was attached to a heretical movement called Amalricianism.
Amalrician heresy scared medieval church authorities because Amaury suggested God and creation were identical—pretty wild pantheism for the 1200s that got his followers burned and his books destroyed, making this word a marker of dangerous medieval thought.
