This
combined edition of the indexes of prohibited and
expurgated books is a reprint of Cardinal Antonio de
Sotomayor’s highly restrictive 1640 edition. It lists numerous prohibited passages in
the notes in the 1584 Salamanca edition of the
Biblia Sacra compiled by Franciscus
Vatablus (1485–1547). The directions to the censor
are quite specific. For example, under “In Psalmos,”
the second entry calls for
note 20 on Psalm 16 to be expurgated after the words
“deseres animam meam” to the end of the note, while
the third entry calls for the deletion of note 22 in
its entirety. |
