Document Details : Title: Konarski, Voltaire and Marmontel Subtitle: The Holy Office and Prohibited Books in Poland 1769-1771 Author(s): ZAJĄC, Paweł Journal: Archivum Historiae Pontificiae Volume: 56 Date: 2022-2023 Pages: 67-86 DOI: 10.2143/AHP.56.0.3293914 Abstract : Three books published in Poland between 1767 and 1769 drew the attention of the nuncio Angelo Maria Durini, who denounced them to the Holy Office. Two accused authors, Voltaire and Marmontel, already had the reputation of being free-thinkers. The third was a Polish Piarist, Stanislaw Konarski, respected for his ecclesiastical activities. The article describes the context of the denunciations and the procedures implemented in Rome in view of the inclusion of the books in the index of prohibited books. |
