Contemporary binding. Condition: Very Good. First edition. HISTORICALLY IMPORTANT EDITIONS OF THE INDEXES OF BOOKS PROHIBITED BY THE CATHOLIC CHRUCH. The Catholic Church's catalogue of prohibited reading emerged in its modern form as the Index Librorum Prohibitorum in 1560 and continued to be updated into the twentieth century-with the final edition published in 1948 before the Index's official abolition in 1966 (see Lenard, "Index Librorum Prohibitorum"; History of the Church, p. 168). Many monuments of human knowledge found themselves on the pages of these indexes, including the works of Boccaccio, Copernicus and Erasmus. Also among them, in 1732, was an Italian translation of Paradise Lost. Milton had addressed the English Parliament a century earlier in 1664, lampooning the "2 or 3 glutton Friars" who censored scores of books, pamphlets and papers "as if S. Peter has bequeath'd them the keys of the Presse also out of Paradise" (Areopagitica, p. 7). This condemnatory view of the Indexes themselves and championing of the freedom of the press helps to colour the context into which the 1667 Indexes available here were published, and the legacy faced by the later eighteenth-century editions. The updated and expanded 1667 edition builds upon the 1640 edition that was borne out of the waning Inquisition of Philip IV of Spain's rule. Expanded widely by Antonio de Sotomayor, who had served as Grand Inquisitor in the decade prior, the 1667 edition reflects this pressing historical climate with its rubricated subtitle: "De consilio supremi sentus inquisitionis generalis" [Concerning the Council of the Supreme and General Inquisition]. The edition is bound with the Index compiled for Pope Alexander VII which gathers an appended version of the Roman Tridentine Index of Forbidden Books (1564) along with a series of papal bulls issued up until the date of publication. The initial title page is inscribed in ink: "Dono V[ir] di[scretus] Domini Norberti Goeman præpositi in [?], 1700" [Gift of the Distinguished Lord Norbert Goeman, Provost of [?], 1700]; likely denoting Norbert Goeman, a Premonstratensian friar who by the end of 1679 was a sub-deacon in the Diocese of Arras in Pas-de-Calais (Haigneré (ed.), p. 29). While Madrid is listed as the place of publication, it is possible that they were printed in Lyon or Geneva (Petzoldt, 149; 1449). The second volume of the Index Librorum Prohibitorum (1758) offered here was executed under Pope Benedict XIV, and is the first of the indexes to present a thirty-six-page introduction delineating the rules for prohibiting books along with relevant papal decrees. Like the full-folio earlier indices, this copy is also bound with an additional text, here the later Indicis Novissimi Librorum Prohibitum Appendix for 1757 to 1763. In investigating the development of the Indexes across their three-and-a-half centuries of censorship, J.M. De Bujanda observes that, "À certains moments, surtout en 1664, 1758 et 1900, le contenu de l'Index est restructuré en profondeur et des interdictions disparaissent." [At certain moments, above all 1664, 1758 and 1900, the content of the Index was profoundly restructured and prohibitions lifted.] (De Bujanda, p. 8). Thus the present 1667 and 1758 volumes (along with their additions) offer valuable insights into how list developed across time. One such countermand witnessed across the 1667 and 1758/63 indexes is the removal of many texts advocating for heliocentrism. Under Benedict XIV the general prohibition on pro-heliocentric texts was lifted, though uncensored copies continued to be verboten (Heilbron, pp. 262-63). As such, Galileo's Dialogo (p. 109) and Kepler's Epitome Astronomiae Copernicae (p. 143) remain, as does Copernicus' De Revolutionibus but with the discretionary warning: "Nisi fuerint correcti juxta emendationem editam anno 1620." [Unless they are corrected pursuant to the emendation issued in year 1620] (p. 66). Erasmus, in contrast, continues to be banned in full force with eight titles to his name (p. 93). This cop.

First rare edition in quarto (which was given only to high-grade prelates), with two even rarer appendices updating it to 1779, of the new index published in 1758 by the order of Pope Benedict XIV. It is the edition that represents the biggest cultural change since the Council of Trent and was prepared to reduce the great number of books listed over the centuries, so completely updating it with a new alphabetical order, but also more importantly - removing all the mistakes accumulated along the years. But the big change was indeed the elimination of the long-time lasting prohibition (the famous regula quarta ) regarding the detention and reading of Bibles printed in national languages. Rebellato no. 206.

5 Bl., XXXVI, 304, 8, 6 S. Mit gestochenem Titel. 8° (18,3 x 12,2 cm). Pergament der Zeit mit Rückenschild. Mit den Nachträgen von 1757-1763 (8 S.) und 1786-1790 (6 S.), erschien im selben Jahr auch in einer Quartausgabe. - Jede der etwa 30 Indexausgaben in über 400 Jahren kirchlicher Buchzensur ist durch die Ergänzungen, Streichungen und Neuaufnahmen "für sich ein Zeitdokument erster Ordnung" (Wolf 255). Die vorliegende Ausgabe markiert allerdings eine Zäsur in der Geschichte des Index und bildet die Grundlage aller folgenden Listen. Benedikt XIV. (1740-1758) reagierte auf die aufklärerischen Strömungen seiner Zeit mit einer umfassenden Reform des Zensurverfahrens und einer Bereinigung der Liste. Bildlicher Ausdruck dieses Wandels ist das Titelkupfer: Nunmehr übergeben zur Einsicht gekommene Menschen die gefährlichen Schriften selbst dem Feuer, in früherer Darstellung brennen die Bücher durch göttliche Autorität (Heiliger Geist) mittels der Apostelfürsten Petrus und Paulus (vgl. Wolf, Index, 56 ff.). Gerade noch auf die Verbotsliste hatte es Jakob Brucker mit seiner "Historia critica Philosophiae" geschafft, die Dekrete datieren vom 28. Juli 1755 und 21. November 1757. - Gering gebräunt und minimal fleckig, der gestochene Titel in der unteren Ecke unleserlich gestempelt. Der Pergamentbezug mit Spuren alter Handschrift, Hinterdeckel etwas fleckig und mit wenigen kleinen Wurmstichen. Schönes Exemplar. *Reusch II, 39. Wolf, Index, 256. Gewicht (Gramm): 400.
