Censorship Of Special Classes Of Books Canons 1387-1391, A History And Commentary

""Censorship of Special Classes of Books: Canons 1387-1391, A History and Commentary"" is a book written by Nathaniel L. Sonntag that explores the history and implications of the Catholic Church's censorship of certain types of literature. Specifically, the book focuses on the canons 1387-1391, which outline the Church's restrictions on books related to magic, divination, and superstition. Sonntag provides a comprehensive overview of the historical context in which these canons were created, as well as the ways in which they have been enforced over time. He also offers a critical commentary on the ethical and intellectual implications of censorship in general, and the Church's role in it specifically. The book is a valuable resource for scholars and students of history, religion, and literature, as well as anyone interested in the ongoing debate over censorship and intellectual freedom.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
