The essay investigates the presence in the Italian library system of 16th century printed books attributed to the Spanish heretic Juan de Valdés and identifies some of their owners in the early modern modern age. Valdesian books that survived the censorship of the Holy Office reveal a persistent interest in Catholic readers from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries, both religious and secular. Thus is fulfilled, in a partial and unforeseen way, one of the Valdés's original goals: to spread his teaching, gradually and under the radar, among sensitive and knowledgeable Christians who showed the desire to know it.

Abstract
The essay investigates the presence in the Italian library system of 16th century printed books attributed to the Spanish heretic Juan de Valdés and identifies some of their owners in the early modern modern age. Valdesian books that survived the censorship of the Holy Office reveal a persistent interest in Catholic readers from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries, both religious and secular. Thus is fulfilled, in a partial and unforeseen way, one of the Valdés's original goals: to spread his teaching, gradually and under the radar, among sensitive and knowledgeable Christians who showed the desire to know it.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
