The 'Treatise of the Three Impostors' is a book that enjoyed centuries of notorious non-existence until it became necessary to invent it. Georges Minois weaves in the parallel story of Europe's courageous freethinkers. He tracks the course of the book from its origins in 1239 to its most salient episodes in the 17th and 18th centuries.
