In the exhibited Spanish
Index, the elaborate title-page engraving
designed by Juan de Herrera shows St. Peter (left)
and St. Paul (right) within an architectural
framework with personifications of Christian
learning and faith. Compiled for Cardinal Antonio
Zapata, this Spanish Index was the most
expansive to date, listing more than 2,500 forbidden
titles.
