Leighton Library has a 1667 edition of "Index Librorum Prohibitorum"
Added at 07:26 on 24 September 2024
đâď¸ It's #BannedBooksWeek #BannedBooksWeek2024 this week. Banning of books is something which has happened throughout history! The Leighton Library has a 1667 edition of "Index Librorum Prohibitorum" ("index of prohibited books") which, only as recently as 1966 did the Vatican announce its abolition (having been originally instituted in 1557). This listed publications deemed heretical, anti-clerical or lascivious, and therefore banned by the Catholic Church. It wasn't unusual for Protestant scholars to use inclusion of a book as a recommendation!
