Description

This study describes the action of the censorship on the books after the discovery of printing. Sacrobosco’s De spaera mundi, published in Venice in 1488 and
conserved in the library of the Astronomical Observatory of Capodimonte, shows a different case of censorship certainly due to one of the book’s owners.
