    To what extent were philosophers and theologians working in Paris in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries free to express their own ideas? Did the rise of the University and the birth of the religious orders foster doctrinal control? What is the significance and scope of the various forms of academic censorship? In what way did they hinder the exchange of opinions and influence the movement of ideas? Is it possible to detect in the literary production of the scholastic thinkers traces of their fear of being persecuted for their opinions? Did they have any awareness of the relationship between freedom of thought and the progress of knowledge? To answer these questions, which are often evaded or ignored, this book proposes to re-read several disciplinary and doctrinal interventions by religious and academic authorities: the prohibitions on the teaching of Aristotle of 1210, 1215 and 1231; the statutes of the Faculty of Arts of 1255 and 1272; the resounding 'condemnation' of 7 March 1277; the anti-Occamist campaign of 1339-1346. Examining in detail the multiple instruments developed to discipline intellectual activities, the production and circulation of books and ideas, it is shown that censorship was one of the factors, and not the least, that conditioned the development of medieval thought.
