Niccolini, G. B., _Arnaldo da Brescia_, printed in 1844, prohibited the same year. Bossie, Conte Luigi, _Della Istoria d’Italia Antica e Moderna_, printed in Milan, 1819–1822, in nineteen volumes, prohibited in 1824. The same author produced a translation of Roscoe’s _Life of Leo X_, which was promptly condemned some twenty years after the prohibition of the same work in the original. Botta, Carlo, _Storia d’Italia del 1729 al 1814_, ten volumes, printed in 1824, prohibited in 1826. Botta had gained the name of “the Italian Tacitus.” His son, Vincenzo Botta, was well known in New York as a man of letters, between the years 1850 (he was one of the exiles of ’48) and 1880. Rossetti, Gabrielle, _Sullo Spirito anti-Papale_, etc., printed in 1832, prohibited 1833; _Iddio a l’Uomo_, printed in 1836, prohibited 1837. The Spanish and Portuguese group of general literature of this period includes the following titles: Llorente, J. A., _Histoire Critique de l’Inquisition de l’Espagne_, printed in Paris in 1820, prohibited in 1822. The author, who was the Secretary-General of the Inquisition, had been banished from Spain in 1812. His history, written in Spanish, was translated under his own supervision. _Historia Completa des Inquisiçoes de Italia, Hispagnia e Portugal_, printed (anonymously) in 1822, prohibited in 1825. This is probably a translation of the _Histoire de l’Inquisition of Lavalée_ printed in Paris in 1809, and prohibited in 1819. The histories of the Inquisition, whether written from the Dominican point of view or from that of their opponents, found their way in great part into the Index. =26. The Synod of Pistoja, 1786.=--In 1794, the conclusions arrived at by the Diocesan Synod held at Pistoja at the instance of Bishop Ricci, were condemned by the Bull _Auctorem Fidei_ of Pius VI. In this Bull, were censured specifically eighty-five propositions. The Pope condemns and prohibits, under penalty of excommunication, the printing, distribution, or reading of any editions or translations of the acts of the synod and of all works written in defence of these acts. It is doubtless through oversight that this very sweeping condemnation does not find place in the Index. Certain publications reporting the conclusions of the synod had been already specifically prohibited; while certain further works, the subjects of which were connected with the issues raised by the synod, were prohibited in later years, in certain instances as late as 1817. For these later prohibitions, the statement was added that the works were already condemned under the Bull _Auctorem Fidei_.
