Geoffrey also mentions 'Quis-ut-Deus', the father of Prester John according to the B and C interpolations of the Prester John letter."
Brewer ends the brief entry on the text by adding that the extant scholarly edition of this text "was made from two manuscripts of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries."

Trained at the Beneditine abbey of Saint-Martial in Limoges, Geoffroy composed his Chroniques which trace the major European events from 994-1184, including much crusading history. His treatment of the Cathar belief helps him become the first writer to use the term Albigensian.
