From 1542 to 1966 the Roman Curia controlled the book market and the printing industry imposing bans in case of medial offences against the Catholic doctrine or morals. For a long time, the "Index librorum prohibitorum" was more or less the only material documenting apostolic book censorship that researchers could hark back to. The documents unfolding the background of those bans issued by the dicasteries in charge, namely the Holy Office (1542-1966) and the Congregation of the Index (1571-1917), were only made accessible in 1998 (momentarily except for the period after February 1939). The files are kept in the archive of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in Rome (Archivio della Congregazione per la Dottrina della Fede).The long-term project assures German research an outstanding share in the analysis and evaluation of this culturally unique body. The core of the project is basic research on three levels: firstly, the respective files of the Inquisition and the Congregation of the Index are made accessible in a Systematic Repertory focusing on the history of censorship. All books that were involved in censorship proceedings, those banned as well as those "discharged", are listed in a biographically precise form with additional reference to the archival documents pertaining to the particular case. Secondly, the first complete edition ever of the so called bandi (the posters on which the books bans were published legally in Rome) is presented. Thirdly, a prosopography offers bio-bibliographical profiles of the congregations' members, giving evidence of the censors' roles within the Church administration, their involvement in the curial structure and their academic-theological career. In addition to these basic research volumes several single projects focus on prominent cases of and issues concerning censorship as well as on the reception of book bans and on central aspects of the structure and administration of the two censorship authorities. The project is working chronologically backwards, starting from the year the Congregation of the Index disintegrated (1917) and heading for the beginnings of institutional book censorship in Rome. The final point is the year the Roman Inquisition was founded (1542). The volumes of basic research for the 19th century (1814-1917) were published in 2005 and 2007. From 2009 to 2011 the volumes concentrating on the period from 1701 to 1813 were presented. The sequel focusing on the years 1542-1700 is going to finish the series for the time being. The project's intention is to provide all historically based disciplines with an effective tool that offers a long-ranging basis for analyses on how the Roman Curia dealt with the intellectual development of the Modern Age and on the history of censorship and the control of knowledge in general.

从1542年到1966年，罗马教廷控制了图书市场和印刷业，在违反天主教教义或道德的情况下实施禁令。在很长一段时间里，“图书馆索引”或多或少是研究人员可以追溯到的唯一记录使徒书籍审查的材料。由负责的主教团，即神圣办公室（1542-1966）和索引部（1571-1917）发布的这些禁令的背景文件，直到1998年才被公开（1939年2月后暂时除外）。这些文件保存在罗马信仰教义部的档案室（Archivio della Congregazione per la Dottrina della Fede）。这一长期项目确保德国的研究在分析和评估这一文化独特的机构方面占有突出的份额。该项目的核心是三个层面的基础研究：首先，宗教裁判所和索引会众的各自文件在一个系统的汇编中提供，重点是审查的历史。所有涉及审查程序的书籍，无论是被禁还是“被释放”的，都以精确的传记形式列出，并补充提及与特定案件有关的档案文件。其次，第一个完整版的所谓的bandi（海报上的书籍禁令是在罗马合法出版）提出。第三，一个prosopography提供了生物书目简介的会众的成员，提供证据的审查员的作用，在教会管理，他们参与的curial结构和他们的学术神学生涯。除了这些基本的研究卷，几个单一的项目集中在突出的案件和有关审查问题，以及对图书禁令的接受和对两个审查当局的结构和管理的核心方面。这个项目是按时间顺序倒推的，从索引部解体的那一年（1917年）开始，一直到罗马开始实行制度化的图书审查制度。最后一点是罗马宗教裁判所成立的年份（1542年）。19世纪（1814-1917）基础研究卷分别于2005年和2007年出版。从2009年到2011年，这些卷集中在1701年到1813年期间。续集集中在1542-1700年将暂时完成该系列。该项目的目的是为所有以历史为基础的学科提供一个有效的工具，为分析罗马教廷如何处理现代的知识发展以及审查和一般知识控制的历史提供长期的基础。
