More like late 1200s con-men who rooked honest Churchmen.

Dishonest scoundrels taking advantage of well-meaning religious folks is a well-established business in the Middle East.
The fake Judaica stuff on the market to cheat “stupid Americans” is rampant. Even saw a fake kosher Torah one time; got a real (taling $15k to $50k) modern Kosher torah and burnt and aged it, to make it look like one from the middle ages.
Made me ill on many levels.
