This
catalogue of heretical writings was compiled during
the first years of the Protestant Reformation by
Bernard of Luxemburg, a Dominican theologian and
Inquisitor of Cologne. It was among the first
publications to identify the “heretical” works of
Martin Luther and his followers, and in subsequent
decades it served as the basis for several
regionally administered lists of prohibited books as
well as the first “Pauline” Index librorum
prohibitorum, published for Pope Paul IV in
1559. |
