Renaissance Impostors and Proofs of Identity

Renaissance Impostors and Proofs of Identity

by Miriam Eliav-Feldon (Author)

Synopsis

Early Modern Europe was teeming with impostors. Identity theft was only one form of misrepresentation: royal pretenders, envoys from imaginary lands, religious dissimulators, cross-dressers, false Gypsies - all these caused deep anxiety, leading authorities to invent increasingly sophisticated means for unmasking deception.
