Polydorus Virgilius is subject to correction for his work _De Rerum Inventoribus_. Among the passages cited for reprobation are those assigning (on the authority of Bishop Fisher of Rochester) a very recent origin to the doctrine of indulgences, with the suggestion that the discovery of purgatory was a powerful cause for the demand for indulgences. The censors also condemned the reference by Virgilius to the second commandment as involving a criticism of the action of the Church. A reference to the Brasichelli Index is made by Paolo Sarpi.[175] He finds in it evidence that in a large number of the writings in which expurgation or alterations had been found necessary, the passages objected to were those which defended the authority given by God to the prince. Zobelius, in his _Notitia Indicis_, states that Brasichelli was aided in his work by Thomas Malvenda, a Dominican. In 1611, an edition of the Brasichelli Index was printed in Antwerp. A year later, the Nuncio writes to the printer-publisher: “By the orders of his Holiness, this Index has been suspended. As some months back I placed in your hands, for printing, a copy of the original issue, it is necessary for me now to write asking that you will not proceed with this printing, or, in case the edition is already issued, that you will take the necessary measures to recall and cancel the copies.” It does not appear that the Nuncio expressed any readiness to make good to the publisher the outlay that the latter had incurred with the permission, and in fact at the request, of the representative of the pope. Mendham is of opinion that the Brasichelli Index itself found place among the books later condemned by the pope;[176] and in this opinion he is supported by Zobel. Reusch takes the ground that this Index had never been formally prohibited. He points out that the word _suspendere_, used by the Nuncio, is the equivalent of a condemnation _donec corrigatur_.[177] It appears that there was later (1643) the intention in Rome to prepare an expurgated edition of this _Index expurgatorius_, but this plan never took shape. Brasichelli had excited the antagonism of the Carmelites, because, in his correction of the eighth volume of the _Bibliotheca Patrum_, he had denied the claim to saintship of Bishop John of Jerusalem (a contemporary of Jerome), and had also denied that Bishop John was responsible for the production of the volume _De Institutione Monachi_. The anonymous author of this book describes himself as a Carmelite, and gives the record of the institution of the Carmelite Order; but Brasichelli is of opinion that in the 5th century there were as yet no Carmelites.
