I’m excited to announce that my latest book, Accidental Archaeologists: True Stories of Unexpected Discoveries, has been chosen as a Junior Library Guild selection!
The first formal index of prohibited books was issued in France by the University of Paris in 1544, and in Italy by the Inquisition in 1545. In 1559, Pope Paul IV published the first papal list of banned books, including 48 heretical editions of the Bible.
