13. If the content of the work that is to be published or what is known of
its author's moral character are such as to preclude any possibility of a criminal
interpolation being attempted after the imprimatur [printing authorisation] has
been granted, there is no need for a duplicate copy to be submitted. Furthermore,
14. printers and booksellers alike are reminded that it is their responsibility
to submit, on pain of an appropriate punishment, all texts they have received for
printing to the book revision board; and that with regard to the reprinting of a
foreign book, permission must be requested from the territorial authority. Finally,
it remains to be pointed out that those trading in copper engravings and dealers
in silver are also to submit their goods to this revision board.
Additional statutes suggested in Bohemia, 13 July 1781.
In order to facilitate the import of books and do away with all hated
and inconvenient compulsion and sending back and forth, the revision of books is
to some extent to be entrusted to the Imperial and Royal district authorities, and
for this purpose the following regulations are prescribed:
1. In accordance with the regulation stated above, travellers are to be
exempted from any inspection.
