Das gewohnheitsrechtlich geregelte Verfahren der Buchzensur wurde im 18. Jahrhundert zum ersten Mal schriftlich festgelegt, mit der Konstitution Sollicita ac provida Benedikts XIV. Als neues Verfahrenselement in der Indexkongregation trat eine vorbereitende Sitzung (Congregatio praeparatoria) zum Ã¼berlieferten Verfahrensgang; dies war nicht zuletzt durch drei wichtige verfahrenstechnische Gutachten und durch den Wunsch des Papstes veranlasst, ein allgemein akzeptables Zensurverfahren zu fixieren. Dabei gewinnen vor allem die Anforderungen an Konsultoren an Bedeutung, denn sie sollen auf ein gerechtes Urteil im Zensurverfahren hinwirken. Zusammen mit der VerteidigungsmÃ¶glichkeit, die katholischen Autoren eingerÃ¤umt werden konnte, bedeutet dies einen zumindest theoretischen Fortschritt in der Entwicklung der Rechtsnormen zur Buchzensur.

Il procedimento di censura libraria, regolato in via consuetudinaria, fu determinato per la prima volta in forma scritta nel Settecento con la Costituzione Sollicita ac provida di Benedetto XIV. Quale nuovo elemento procedurale fu aggiunta, nella Congregazione dell'Indice, una seduta preparatoria (Congregatio preparatoria); ciÃ² fu determinate soprattutto da tre importanti perizie di tecnica processuale e dalla richiesta del Papa di fissare un procedimento censorio ammissibile in linea generale. Acquista cosÃ¬ importanza soprattutto quello che ci si attendeva dai consultori, che dovevano giungere ad una giusta sentenza nell'ambito del procedimento di censura. Accanto alla possibilitÃ di difendersi, che poteva essere accordata agli autori cattolici, ciÃ² rappresenta almeno teoricamente un passo in avanti nell'evoluzione delle norme giuridiche di censura libraria.

The procedure of book censorship, regulated by the common law, has been for the first time determined in written form in the eighteenth century with the Constitution Sollicita ac provida by Benedict XIV. A new element was added to the traditional procedure in the Congregation of the Index - a preparatory congregation (Congregatio praeparatoria); this modification was not least initiated because of three important procedural expertises and the wish of the Pope to fix a censural procedure commonly acceptable. In this process especially the demands on the consultors gain in importance, as these are supposed to work towards a fair judgement in the process of censoring. Together with the possibility of defence, which catholic authors are granted, this step marks a progress, at least theoretically, in the development of legal norms for book censorship.
