Volume consisting of the fifth Portuguese edition (1564), with two parts, of the catalogue of prohibited books, better known as the Index, together with a copy of the seventh Portuguese edition of the same title, printed in 1597. The first Portuguese edition of the Index was published in 1547, followed by the editions of 1551, 1559 and 1561. The fifth edition is composed of two parts, published simultaneously, the first corresponding to the Roman catalogue and the second to a supplement in Portuguese “com as regras [...] trasladadas em linguage[m] vulgar [...] para proveito daquelles que carecem da lingua latina”. The edition of the Index from 1597 already follows the new Roman catalogue, promulgated at the end of the papacy of Sixtus V and was published at the initiative of the general inquisitor and second bishop of Elvas, D. António de Matos de Noronha (1591-1610). The “Rol dos Livros” has, at the end, the printed signature of the Dominican Inquisitor Fr. Emanuel da Veiga (†1575). At the end of the 1597 Index, the autograph signature of Fr. Francisco Pereira, SJ(?) qualifier and reviewer of the Holy Office. Volume cropped with damage to the xilography frame of the first title page, but not of the other sections that preserve good margins. Some restorations, namely on the two title pages of the first species, on the upper margin of the second page of the first work and on the interior margins of some other sections. It is, however, solid and complete, corresponding exactly to the descriptions given in the “Catálogo dos impressos do século XVI (Tipografia portuguesa)”, from BN. Eighteenth-century binding, full flecked sheepskin, with damage to the spine from wormholes and inferior quality paper endepapers. Anselmo, 474, 475 and 515. BN (16th century), 382, 825 and 384. D.
