Voluntary burning of superstitious books at Ephesus by new converts of St. Paul. (The Roman "Index of Prohibited Books", inner frontispiece of the 1758 edition.)

"Multi autem ex eis, qui fuerant curiosa sectati, contulerunt Libros, et combusserunt coram omnibus. Act. Cap.XIX. V.19"

"19 Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. 20 So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed." [Acts 19:19-20, King James Bible]
