Pope Gregory IX in an encyclical ascribes a view of the Abrahamic religions as founded by "three impostors" to Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor. Fabrications of the text eventually begin clandestine circulation, with a notable French underground edition Traité sur les trois imposteurs first appearing in 1719.Ību Tahir al-Jannabi uses a "three impostors" slogan for political ends. Authorship of the hoax book was variously ascribed to Jewish, Muslim, and Christian writers. Hearsay concerning such a book surfaces by the 13th century and circulates through the 17th century. The Treatise of the Three Impostors ( Latin: De Tribus Impostoribus) was a long-rumored book denying all three Abrahamic religions: Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, with the "impostors" of the title being Jesus, Moses, and Muhammad.
