In [[Medieval]] thought including [[Dante]]'s [[Divine Comedy]], fraud was a broad term used to describe any [[sin]] that involved the use of human intellect, including: [[seduction]], [[flattery]], [[simony]], [[magic|sorcery]], political [[corruption]] (or barratry), [[hypocrisy]], [[theft]], evil counsel, sundering, [[forgery]] and [[deceit]]. These sins were known as 'minor fraud'; 'major fraud' was another name for [[treachery]], which was considered to be the worst sin of all.
