Shell Games: Scams, frauds and deceits (1300-1650) 
 
Schemes calculated to deceive 
 
This multi-disciplinary conference will explore the practice of  
deception in late medieval and early modern cultures and ask how

advance our understanding of the intellectual, economic, social and  
political climate of the period.   
 
The conference is scheduled to take place 28-29 April 2001, at  
Victoria College in the University of Toronto. Conference organizers  
invite submissions for 20 minute papers. Deadline is 30 June 2000.  
Abstracts should be no more than 150 words.  Submissions should  
be made electronically and include a one-page (max.) C.V. to:
