Among the numerous social practices of forgetting and remembering that operated throughout modern history, few are so clearly linked to the construction of cultural memory as the censorship of books and the ecclesiastical politics of "damnatio memoriae" (damnation of memory), of which the Index of Forbidden Books was the most important instrument. This paper tries to throw light on some aspects of the practice of censorship of law books, presenting the results of a case study on the reception of the Dutch Protestant jurist Arnoldus Vinnius (1588-1657) in Catholic Spain.
