Certain of the entries in the Index deserve separate attention. In the list of books published appears the entry, Joannis Casae, _Poemata_. This work appears in the Index of Paul IV. Its author is spoken of by Mendham as “that infamous prelate.”[169] In the Index of Trent, however, the prohibition was removed, Pius IV having apparently concluded that the transgressor had done sufficient penance. Under the authority of Sixtus, the prohibition was, as stated, renewed, but in all subsequent Indexes the title is omitted. Another entry to be noted is the following: Roberti Bellarmini, _Disputationes de Controversiis Christianae Fidei adversus hujus temporis haereticos_. To this title is affixed the note: _Nisi prius ex superioribus regulis recognitae fuerint_. It is difficult to understand why the stalwart champion of Roman orthodoxy should have been placed under the ban. It is Mendham’s suggestion that in the third of the _Disputations_ in question, which has to do with the power of the Roman pontiff, Bellarmin had stated that power to be no more than indirect as to temporals. The censure made necessary a public revocation and self-correction on the part of the offender. After the death of the critical Sixtus, the cardinal is said to have vented his resentment as follows: _Conceptis verbis, quantum capio, quantum sapio, quantum intelligo, descendit ad infernum_. The authority for this citation is Baxter’s _Safe Religion_, in which is quoted the report of William Watson, an English priest, to whom the utterance was made.[170] The name of the Englishwoman Anne Askew finds place in Class I (entered as Anna a Skeue), the only other woman thus honoured being Magdalena Heymairin. In the Index of 1597, Anne’s name is entered A. S. Keuue, which a conscientious reader, trying to avoid pernicious literature, might also find difficulty in identifying. The Sistine compilers have made a curious blunder in including in their lists the titles of a number of university controversial dissertations, which had been prepared for the defence of orthodox doctrine against the assaults of certain heretical opponents. The Frankfort catalogue, in its entries of the heretical treatises, had brought in the names of the orthodox writers to whom these treatises were replies. In a number of instances, the Sistine lists repeat in Class III, without the names of the writers, the titles of books the authors of which had already been condemned _in toto_ in Class I. It is difficult to understand the ground for the insertion in Class III of a long series of historical works which appear to have possessed no theological or doctrinal character. The titles had been taken from the Frankfort catalogues of the publishers Feyerabend and Wechel, probably because these publishers had come into heretical repute in connection with previous books.
