The control assumed by the Universities over the book trade presently extended to inter- ference with original writings and a censorship of literature. With the introduction of printing and the consequent increase of books and of the facilities for reproducing them this censorship was taken up by the Church. Ecclesiastical censorship, however, was not the outcome of the Universities' assumption of control over the book trade. It sprang from the jealousy of the clergy, who opposed the spread of ...knowledge among the people some, perhaps, because they knew that knowledge in ignorant hands is dangerous, and others because they feared their own prestige might suffer. This feeling existed before printing, though printing brought it to a head. For instance, in 1415 the BOOKS IN MEDIEVAL TIMES. 55 penalty in this country for reading the Scriptures in the vernacular was forfeiture of land, cattle, body, life, and goods by the offenders and their 1 heirs for ever, and that they should be condemned for heretics to God, enemies to the Crown, and most errant traitors to the land.
