Mickiewicz, Adam (1798–1855), _L’Église Officielle et le Messianisme_,
printed in 1843, prohibited in 1848.
Renan, E. The writings of this author ought properly to have come into
the Index under the specification _Opera omnia_. The Congregation
appears to have taken prompt action concerning each book as soon as
information of the publication came to hand, but a few titles escaped
attention. The more important of those recorded are the following: _Le
Livre de Job_, _Étude d’Histoire Religieuse_, _Origine du Langage_,
_Histoire des Langues Sémitiques_, _Averroés et l’Averroisme_, _Vie de
Jésus_, _L’Antéchrist_, _Les Évangiles_, _La Mort de Jésus_. (These
books appeared between the years 1858 and 1884.)
Pêyrat, Alphonse, _Histoire Élémentaire de Jésus_, printed in 1864,
prohibited the same year.
Soury, Jules, _Jésus et les Évangiles_, printed 1878, prohibited 1878.
Scholl, _Le Procès de Jésus_, printed in 1878, prohibited 1878.
Havet, E., _Le Christianisme et ses Origines_, printed 1873, prohibited
1878.
Aube, B., _Histoire des Persécutions de l’Église_; _Histoire de
l’Église_; _La Polémique Paienne à la fin du deuxième siècle_; _Le
Christianisme dans l’Empire Romain_, printed 1876–1880, prohibited as
published.
Larroque, P., _Examen des Doctrines de la Religion Chrétienne_;
_L’Esclavage chez les Nations Chrétiennes_, printed in 1859–1864,
prohibited as published. Later writings by this author were also placed
on the Index, apparently in so far as their titles were brought to the
attention of the Congregation.
Jacolliot, L., _La Bible dans l’Inde_; _Vie de Jezeus Chrishna_, an
identification of Christ with the Chrishna of the Hindus, printed in
1869, prohibited the same year. A group of later writings by this
author were also promptly condemned.
