Faux may be understood in three ways: In its most extended sense it is the alteration of truth, with or without intention; it is nearly synonymous with lying; In a less extended sense, it is the alteration of truth, accompanied with fraud, mutatio veritatis cum dolo facta, and lastly; In a narrow or legal sense of the word, when it is a question to know if the faux be a crime in those cases ascertained and punished by the law, it is the fraudulent alteration of the truth. --b-- Chances are you'll find material related to this term in other areas of the Library, so look around. |
