This is a reprint of the 1835 edition of the "Index Librorum Prohibitorum," the list of books banned by the Catholic Church. Compiled by Thomas A. Degola, this edition provides a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual and religious climate of the early 19th century. The "Index" offers insights into the Church's concerns regarding theological, political, and social issues as reflected in the banned literature.
A valuable resource for historians, theologians, and anyone interested in the history of censorship, the "Index Librorum Prohibitorum" remains a significant historical document that sheds light on the ongoing tension between authority and intellectual freedom.
