A considerable number of the books published in the course of the eighteenth century were printed with false details of the place of publication, authorised by the censorship offices themselves. This phenomenon, which was common throughout Europe, was particularly marked in Venice where over 800 titles, among the most sought-after of the time, were licensed exploiting this expedient to get around the bottleneck of the official publishing rules. The volume publishes the registers of the related Venetian documentation, complete with notes and indices that sketch a fairly complete picture of this aspect of the censorship system of the Ancien Régime.
