Index des livres interdits, Volumen 11

"The present catalogue records all the books placed on the Roman Index from 1600 until its withdrawal in 1966. It offers succinct biographical information on approximately 3000 authors as well as a brief description and the location of the editio princeps for more than 5000 forbidden books. This corpus constitutes an invaluable resource for historians of the book, theologians, literary scholars, philosophers, students of mentalities and the many other specialists who will find within it the witness of the turbulent development of their disciplines."--Jacket
