This is an annotated bibliography of Catholic books in English printed abroad or secretly in England at a time when Catholic printing was prohibited in England and such books when discovered by the authorities were seized and destroyed. It includes all the 930 items listed in the authors' A Catalogue of Catholic Books in English... 1956 (A&R) except for a handful which for reasons of consistency were described in volume I of the present work (Scolar Press 1989) and it adds a further twenty-five on which information has come to light more recently. The annotations historical literary and bibliographical are very much fuller than those in A&R and include a vast amount of evidence now brought together for the first time. The true authors of many anonymous and pseudonymous books are identified and many books issued with a false imprint or no imprint at all are assigned to particular presses. In each entry up to fifteen locations are given where known.
