'... a substantial contribution to the history of the vernacular religious book in early modern Italy... Recommended.' Choice 'Forbidden Prayer promises to be a fruitful addition to the library of many early modern scholars whatever their stage of career.' Renaissance & Reformation 'What emerges is a careful account of how the Roman authorities sought to shape and control popular devotion... the contemporary parallels are fascinating.' Church Times 'Presenting such a thought-provoking book to readers of English is commendable. Caravale reconstructs, in admirable detail, the interventions of individual censors into specific texts to build his case, complemented by both Congregations’ correspondence with regional tribunals.' Renaissance Quarterly 'This book will be of use to those interested in the spread and reception of evangelical ideas in predominantly Roman Catholic areas and Roman efforts to combat those ideas. It will also be of interest to anyone interested in how churches decide what is heretical and what is orthodox and attempt to convince their adherents to use only approved materials.' Lutheran Quarterly 'By approaching these decades through the lens of prayer, Caravale’s work offers an important new discussion of both reactions to Protestantism and internal Catholic reform within Italy. His account of expositions of the Lord’s Prayer is particularly instructive, and he offers a wealth of fascinating examples of superstitious and incorrect devotional texts that were reported to Rome by local inquisitors. One of the strengths of this book is its detailed use of archival sources, and the generous quotations taken from these will be of great use to other scholars. This English translation is to be warmly welcomed for making Caravale’s work available to a much larger audience.' English Historical Review
