This book explores the hidden history of unbelief in the early modern era through the lens of Momus, the Greek god of criticism and mockery. Examining his revival in Italy, France, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, and England, it shows how Momus became a code for religious doubt in an age in which such writings remained dangerous for authors.
