""An Exact Reprint of the Roman Index Expurgatorius (1837)"" is a book compiled by Richard Gibbings, originally published in 1837. This book is an exact reprint of the Roman Index Expurgatorius, which was a list of books that the Catholic Church deemed to be dangerous or heretical. The Index Expurgatorius was first published by the Catholic Church in 1559 and was updated periodically until it was abolished in 1966. This book contains an extensive list of books that were banned by the Catholic Church, along with the reasons for their inclusion on the list. The books listed in the Index Expurgatorius cover a wide range of topics, including theology, philosophy, history, and literature. Many of the authors on the list were prominent figures in their fields, such as Galileo, Descartes, and Voltaire.In addition to the list of banned books, this book also includes an introduction by Richard Gibbings, which provides historical context for the Index Expurgatorius and its significance in the history of the Catholic Church. Gibbings also discusses the impact that the Index had on the intellectual and cultural life of Europe during the centuries in which it was in use.Overall, ""An Exact Reprint of the Roman Index Expurgatorius (1837)"" is a valuable resource for scholars and anyone interested in the history of censorship and intellectual freedom. It provides insight into the ways in which the Catholic Church sought to control the dissemination of ideas and information, and the impact that this had on the development of Western culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

Oxford Handbook of Italian Literature
Italian literature is among the most ancient and influential Western literatures. With its classics spanning from the Middle Ages to our contemporaneity, the impact of Italian literature worldwide has been and still is enormous - think of the influence of Dante in shaping Holocaust narratives and that of Italo Calvino on postmodern fiction. Italian literature remains a subject of enduring interest for academics, students, and general audiences. After the long and still resisting season of nationalisms, the time is ripe to rethink Italian literature against the background of a more and more globalized world. <p/><em>The Oxford Handbook of Italian Literature</em> considers the development, status, and significance of Italian Literature in this globalized context. Organized into four parts (Institutions&#x3b; Production&#x3b; Controversies&#x3b; and Icons), this Handbook approaches Italian literature across its historical span through a variety of perspectives and methodologies, including nationalism, internationalism, and transnationalism, culture, gender and ethnic studies, and ecocriticism, with constant and careful attention to the forms and contents of literary practices and discourses. This Handbook offers the most comprehensive survey of Italian literature to date, ranging broadly from Dante's times to the contemporary world bestselling phenomenon of Elena Ferrante. Italian literature emerges as a case in point for reorientating literary studies towards the experimentation of difference, permeability, and integration. <p/>Bringing together distinguished scholars of Italian literature from major world universities, including the US, UK, Italy, France, Ireland, Canada, and Germany, these 54 chapters unsettle and reshape the field of Italian literature. This Handbook aims to inspire scholars and writers in Italian Studies to explore innovative conceptual frameworks and facilitate a comparative dialogue with scholars of other literary traditions around the world: an especially vital goal in our increasingly interconnected world.
