An Index of Prohibited Books, by Command of the Present Pope, Gregory XVI in 1835: Being the Latest Specimen of the Literary Policy of the Church of Rome (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Exploring the Roman Church’s literary policy and its enforcement in the 1830s.
This edition surveys the latest decrees, condemnations, and official notices that guided what could be read and taught under papal authority, offering a critical view of how censorship shaped religious discourse.
Through translated passages and commentary, the work presents key documents, including the Gregory index and the Monitum, alongside notes on notable condemnations and the broader political context of 19th‑century Catholic Europe. It traces how institutional power used law and discipline to influence intellectual life, with particular attention to contested authors and works.
- Primary decrees and condemnations from the period, with context for their impact.
- Translations and explanations to help readers understand the legal language.
- Discussion of the figures and debates shaping the church’s publishing policy.
- Connections to broader debates about religious liberty and state authority.
Ideal for readers of religious history, church policy, and 19th‑century European politics.
