The Treatise of the Three Impostors is a work of the enlightenment which helped to start advance the critique of religious dominance. Its First printing was accredited to the printer M.M. Rey, but may have existed in manuscript form for some time before it was published. It is unlikely to have been around since the time of Freidrich II (1194-1250) which was part of the mythology of the manuscript. It was nominally a text handed down from generation to generation detailing how the three major figures of world religion: Muhammad , Jesus , and Moses were in fact misrepresenting what had happened to them. At the time this novel approach was used to allow thinkers to conceptualize a world where explanation ruled over mere "mystery" a term used for the miraculous intervention on earth by God. It was useful to both Deists and Atheists in legitimizing their world view and being a common source of intellectual reference. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
