Thank you all for your helpful answers to my questions regarding false prophets in the fourteenth century. I have followed some of your suggestions regarding particular books, and I am reading more about the subject at the moment. I wonder if anyone has yet thought of synonyms for 'false prophets'; any language would do... Thanks again, Frances. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
