For more than four hundred years, the Catholic Church's Index
Librorum Prohibitorum struck terror into the hearts of authors,
publishers and booksellers around the world, while arousing
ridicule and contempt from many others, especially those in
Protestant and non-Christian circles. Biased, inconsistent and
frequently absurd in its attempt to ban objectionable texts of
every conceivable description - with sometimes fatal consequences -
the Index also reflected the deep learning and careful
consideration of many hundreds of intellectual contributors over
the long span of its storied evolution. This book constitutes the
first full study of the Index of Prohibited Books to be published
in English. It examines the reasons behind the Church's attempts to
censor religious, scientific and artistic works, and considers not
only why this most sustained of campaigns failed, but what lessons
can be learned for today's debates over freedom of expression and
cancel culture.
