The first name in the list of expurgated authors is that of Arias Montanus. Montanus had himself borne the chief responsibility in the production of the Index issued in Antwerp in 1546. He had been accepted as an authority not only for sound scholarship, but for sound doctrine. About six pages of the Roman Index are devoted to his writings, which here suffer a castigation and mutilation similar to that formerly inflicted by him on other authors. Space is given (as in all the expurgatory Indexes) to the Bibles of Robert Estienne. The longest and most important article in the volume is that devoted to the _Bibliotheca SS. Patrum_ of La Bigne printed in Paris in 1589. As an example of the class of correction found necessary in the _Bibliotheca_ may be noted the correction of cancellation of _Sanctus_ or _Sanctorum_ or _S. Divus_ or _D._ whenever such term is applied to a personage not in the list of Roman saints or of Roman martyrs. The words _Caute lege_ appear frequently in connection with the text of La Bigne. On page 82, Clemens of Alexandria is degraded from the rank of _Divus_. In the critique upon S. Peter Martyr, Bishop of Alexandria, the censor denounces his commentator, Balsamon, as “a Greek and a schismatic.” S. Chromatius is censored as condemning oaths altogether. S. Ignatius is censored for his opinions respecting the Lord’s Day. Leontius is censored for omitting the apocryphal books in the canon. La Bigne is censored for ascribing the work _De Duabus Naturis_ to Gelasius who became Pope. Jonas Aurelianensis is censored for his testimony against image worship. Marcus the hermit is censored for contending that the kingdom of heaven is not given as a reward for our good works. For Paschasius the title of _Divus_ is ordered to be expunged. He is further censored for describing as creation the change of the elements. Photius, Bishop of Constantinople, is condemned (very naturally) for representing his own see as the head of all the churches. To the Spanish author, Emmanuel Sa, is given a discipline or censorship covering twenty-eight pages. In the next succeeding Spanish Index, Sa is acquitted of any false or erroneous doctrine and his writings are held up to special approbation. It was with the Roman criticism of Sa that originated a long series of issues between the Index makers of Rome and those of Spain. Francis Duarenus received a castigation, which he might fairly have expected, for his work _Pro libertate Ecclesiae Gallicae_, in section 77 of which are detailed the heavy exactions of the Papal See. Cardanus is condemned for his _Eulogy_ of Edward VI. A condemnation is also brought in upon Queen Elizabeth, the text for the same being a dedication to the Queen prefixed to a London edition of _Plato_.
