| Summary | "De Tribus Impostoribus, A. D. 1230: The Three Impostors" by Samuel Briggs is a philosophical treatise likely composed in the early 14th century. The work engages critically with religious figures and doctrines, particularly focusing on Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, whom it refers to as "the three impostors." Through a blend of historical commentary and skepticism, the author explores the origins and motivations of these influential figures in religion. At the start of the treatise, the author sets the stage for an in-depth critique of historical religious figures and their perceived fabrications. The opening portion highlights the questionable foundations of their respective doctrines, suggesting that these figures employed manipulative tactics to maintain power and influence over their followers. The narrative begins with reflections on the general ignorance of the masses, establishing a theme of deception perpetrated by religious leaders throughout history, and raises thought-provoking questions about the nature of divinity, religion, and the power dynamics at play.
