Description

This notice prohibits 16 works and orders the expurgation of 7 others. The prohibited works include several prayers that offered apocryphal indulgences and other benefits. Bearing the paper and wax seal of the Inquisition, the order was endorsed with the signatures of three inquisitors. The order printed at the bottom of the sheet, "Nadie le quite, pena de Excomunion mayor," warns that the broadside "should not be removed, under penalty of excommunication."
