Reviews
“This volume is a true milestone in tracing, mapping, and conceptualizing the culture of lying and dissimulation in the premodern era. … This seminal book will be of enormous value and interest not only to early modernists but also to intellectual and religious historians in general.” (Maria Ivanova, The Catholic Historical Review, Vol. 102 (4), 2016)
