L’Affaire clémentineUne fraude pieuse à l’ère des Lumières
Publication type: Book
Author:Géhanne Gavoty (Stéphanie)
Abstract: The Clémentine affair resulted from the publication of the Lettres du pape Clément XIV by the audacious Louis-Antoine Caraccioli (1776). This formidable hoax is looked at from three angles: its origins, its exceptional reception, and the profound shifts revealed by this innovative apologetic work.
