Imprimatur

The imprimatur (Latin for "Let there be printed " also Imprimi potest " It can be printed ", also in Austria and in Catholic areas of Germany, for example in the Rhineland, with grammatical and phonetic alignment with words such candidacy, filing the imprimatur ) is a printing permission. It is issued after proofreading the galleys by the author or publisher of a book or from a graphic artist. In a narrower sense imprimatur also referred to the sign ( hand sign, stamp or similar. ) Of an officially appointed censor, such as during the pre-March press censorship.

In theological works the imprimatur denotes the pressure approval by a bishop of the Roman Catholic Church. Until the Second Vatican Council, each book release by teachers of Catholic theology, priests and religious members needed the imprimatur. It was also supported by a mostly pre-printed on the back of the cover note Nihil osta (lat. there is nothing to prevent ) indicated. Today, it is granted only at the express request of the author. The publications authorized by the Magisterium of the Church theologians are still subject to the assessment and, if appropriate, challenge by the CDF. In the promotion process, the imprimatur or the pressure release means the last step before the publication of a PhD thesis. You must be granted by the respective appointed institution or of its members and serves to possibly remove remaining formal errors in the estimation of the actual thesis.
