Abstract

The controversies between the lie (important vitium linguae according to the moralists) and the truth (identifies with a superior idea and with the Divinity itself) have been very characteristic of the Christian medieval Europe. Supported by the biblical, patristic, scholastic and pre- Renaissance arguments, the quarrels have affected the academic environment (vg.: the theory of duplex veritas attributed to the averroist) and the totality of the Christian society (vg: the resource to the ordeal).
