Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive examination of the measures taken by the Catholic Church to control the production and distribution of books from the early 16th century through the 20th century. The author provides a historical analysis of the church's efforts to suppress and control different kinds of intellectual content, from heresy and blasphemy to scientific and political ideas deemed dangerous. The book offers an in-depth exploration of the Church's Index of Prohibited Books, which was used to ensure that only materials approved by the church were available to the public. It examines the complex processes by which the church made these determinations, highlighting the tension between the church's authority and the desire for intellectual freedom. This work offers a unique and detailed account of the Catholic Church's attempts to shape the intellectual landscape of Europe for over four centuries, providing valuable insights into the historical context of censorship and intellectual freedom.
