_1548._ _The Inquisitor of Toulouse, Vidal de Becanis_, places his “privilege” on an Index the names of the compilers of which do not appear. The introduction denounces as heretics the persons who, during the past three years, have read, possessed, bought, sold, bound, or printed the books specified in the following lists; and condemns to excommunication all who, after the publication of the Index, fail to deliver for destruction existing copies, or who protect persons concealing copies. The catalogue contains ninety-two titles, which are in their wording badly confused and misprinted. A few instances are cited by Fréville: Martini Lutheti (for Luther); Vulpici Zironga (for Zwingli). Of twenty-one authors, the complete works are condemned, etc. For Erasmus, the list covers seventeen titles. The prohibition covers Latin or French Bibles or Testaments, and the possessors of such are to be denounced.[68] _1551._ _Henry II_, in an edict issued at Chateaubriand and duly recorded in Parliament, prohibits the importation of any books printed in Geneva or in any other towns which had fallen away from the Church. No books recorded in the prohibited lists of the Sorbonne could be printed, sold, or owned. Only those persons were permitted to possess copies to whom had been given canonical permission for the reading of heretical works. The printers must record their names and their work could be carried on only in certain specified places. Bales of books coming in from abroad must be opened in the presence of two deputies from the theological faculty or of two magistrates. Twice a year, these same deputies must inspect the bookshops. In Lyons, which was a great dépôt for imported books, the shops were inspected not less than three times a year, the inspectors including the archbishop and the seneschal. Every bookshop must carry in evidence a copy of the prohibitory catalogue of the Sorbonne, and corrected lists of the books in stock. Colporteurs (_portepanniers_) were not permitted to sell books, their printed stock being restricted to broadsides or single sheets.
