Lying and Perjury in Medieval Practical Thought: A Study in the History of Casuistry
Corran, Emily (Junior Research Fellow, Junior Research Fellow, St John's College, Oxford)
This book investigates questions on lying and perjury as they were discussed in the Middle Ages, showing that while the word for this practical moral theology - casuistry - was not invented until the Renaissance, the practice of this genre of medieval academic thought was widespread, especially in works produced for priests hearing confessions.
