“Inquisition in Action is a valuable new portal for ordering and making visible the material artifacts of censorship in early modern Portugal and its empire.”
Hannah Marcus, Harvard University
Author of Forbidden Knowledge. Medicine, Science, and Censorship in Early Modern Italy (Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 2020).

“Inquisition in Action makes a significant contribution to our understanding of Catholic censorship of scientific texts in the early modern period. It allows historians to examine not only the manner in which Portuguese inquisitors implemented Indices of Forbidden Books, but also to consider the physical practice of censorship.”
Neil Tarrant, University of Leeds
