Fragnito's "The Expurgatory Policy of the Church and the Works of Gasparo Contarini" succinctly discusses the evolving versions of the Index of Prohibited Books and the problems of expurgation when the Congregation of the Index, its staff, and helpers lacked the resources (and willpower) to correct suspended books as the range of subject matter scrutinized increased especially in the 1590s.
They include the fact that both the Holy Office and the Congregation of the Index were keenly aware that the Vatican's peremptory condemnation of scientific hypotheses would arouse memories of the Galileo affair and bring further discredit to the church.
The book was banned by the Congregation of the Index and remained on its list of prohibited books until 1835.
