{"product_id":"index-et-catalogus-librorum-prohibitorum-1583","title":"Index et catalogus librorum prohibitorum (1583)","description":"Gaspar de Quiroga, Cardinal, Archbishop of Toledo and Inquisitor General, issued this Index in 1583 with the Supreme Council of the Inquisition. It is the working instrument rather than a commentary on one: the books, the authors and the passages that were not to be read in Spain, set out for the men who had to enforce it. Read today it is a negative catalogue of the sixteenth century — much of what a period thought dangerous is precisely what it thought important, and the Index preserves the judgement in the sharpest possible form. It is also, incidentally, a bibliography of works whose existence is otherwise poorly recorded. This is a faithful print-on-demand facsimile of the 1583 edition, reproduced in full from a library copy. The historical text is reproduced without modification; only the format, margins and legibility have been reset for modern printing.","brand":"EDITIONS RECREASOFT","offers":[{"title":"Perfect Bound","offer_id":67481854869808,"sku":"9782387811301","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.thegreatbritishbookshop.co.uk\/products\/index-et-catalogus-librorum-prohibitorum-1583","provider":"The Great British Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
