De Librorum Prohibitorum Indicibus Utilitate Et Abusu... [Latin]

By Jonas Conrad Schramm

De Librorum Prohibitorum Indicibus Utilitate Et Abusu..., a work by Jonas Conrad Schramm and Wilhelm Friedrich Walther, delves into the utility and abuse of the Index Librorum Prohibitorum. This historical and scholarly examination provides insight into the function and impact of lists of prohibited books, particularly within the context of ecclesiastical and political power structures. The text explores the history of censorship, the motivations behind the prohibition of certain texts, and the consequences of such restrictions on intellectual and religious freedom.

Written in Latin, this work offers a valuable resource for scholars of church history, the history of books, and the dynamics of censorship in early modern Europe. Its meticulous approach and detailed analysis make it an essential contribution to understanding the complex relationship between power, knowledge, and control.
