OverviewAI-generated
Peter Waldo (1140–1300) was a theologian, translator, and merchant from the Kingdom of Burgundy. Born in Lyon, where he also worked, he was a male who spoke Occitan. His religious affiliations included Catholicism and the Waldensians, and his lifestyle was characterized by mysticism. He was convicted of heresy.
Waldo’s field of work focused on sermons and Bible translation. He is described in the Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary. Other records list a different Peter Waldo (1732 or 3–1803) as an author of six works, including commentaries on the liturgy of the Church of England and essays on the Lord's Supper.

Encyclopedic overview
Peter Waldo (/ˈwɔːldoʊ, ˈwɒl-/; also Valdo, Valdes, Waldes; French: Pierre Vaudès, de Vaux; Latin: Petrus Waldus, Valdus; c. 1140 – c. 1205) was a French merchant and later preacher who founded Waldensianism (then called the "Poor of Lyon"), a mendicant ascetic sect which separated from the Roman Catholic Church.
The tradition that his first name was "Peter" can only be traced back to the fourteenth century. This has caused some historians, such as Jana Schulman, to see it as likely a later invention. He is considered a Proto-Protestant.
