Index librorum prohibitorum(Latin; Index of Forbidden Books) List of books considered dangerous to the faith or morals of Catholics. Compiled by official Roman Catholic censors, the Index was never a complete catalog of forbidden reading; it contained only works that the ecclesiastical authority was asked to act on. Though the church's concern over books is much older, the first catalog of banned books to be called an index was published in 1559. Publication of the list ceased in 1966, and it was relegated to the status of a historic document. Index librorum prohibitorum list of forbidden books compiled by Roman Catholic Church. [Christian Hist.: NCE, 1323] See : Censorship |

Perhaps the most famous banned book list ever is the Catholic Church's now defunct Index of Prohibited Books. He points out that Lope de Vega, the greatest playwright of the Siglo del Oro, did not appear on Spain's Index of prohibited books until a century after his death. |
