    About this ebook

    Taking advantage of the Portuguese example of the "Catálogo de Livros que se Proíbem Nestes Reinos" published in 1581 AD, this book explores the reasons why the Inquisition banned certain books. It succinctly provides information on each of the books in this particular catalogue, along with potential reasons on why they were forbidden.
