    • Abstract:
      Este breve ensayo discute el tópico del "incumplimiento" de las disposiciones en materia de censura de libros entre los siglos XVI y XVIII, uno de los lugares comunes de la historiografía sobre el tema. Se sostiene la inadecuación de la dicotomía "eficacia versus incumplimiento", o del supuesto abismo entre "teoría y práctica", tomando en consideración las características definitorias del orden jurídico de la época, marcado, entre otros elementos, por la apertura, la indeterminación, la flexibilidad o su carácter incompleto, que condicionaron tanto las prácticas sociales como la normativa vigente.

    • Abstract:
      The failure to enforce the laws and enactments regarding book censorship between the 16th and the 18th centuries is a common topic of discussion among historians of the early modern period. This brief essay claims that the dichotomy between "enforcement" and "failure to enforce" falls short to analyze the social practices and the legislation regarding book censorship. The legal culture of the time was known by its indeterminacy, its openness and its flexibility -- utterly distinct from today's legal formalism. Therefore, these aspects should not only be taken into account but should orient any investigation on social practices and official rules on the censorship of books in the early modern centuries.
