Grumett, David
- Abstract
This article discusses the topic of the Index of Prohibited Books, which was used by the Roman Catholic Church to ban certain books between the Counter-Reformation and the Second Vatican Council. The author, Robin Vose, provides a comprehensive study of the topic, highlighting the various indexes that were operated by different regions and the criteria for inclusion. The article also explores the negative impacts of the indexes on non-Christian religions and the censorship of images and music. It concludes by discussing the termination of the Roman index in 1966 and the broader history of censorship.
