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 [[deceit]], [[magic|sorcery]], [[hypocrisy]], [[theft]] and [[forgery]] in addition to what we think of as fraud today. These sins were known as 'minor fraud'; 'major fraud' was another name for [[treachery]], which was considered to be the worst sin of all.
