are achieved through them may be realised and evaluated, we have chosen to hereby reiterate and renew them in every respect. Therefore, all works at the university printing houses and works falling under their supervision must not be printed without first undergoing censorship by relevant departments, or by learned persons who are competent in the matter, just as prescribed in the constitutions previously issued for the University of Uppsala, by our late and highly esteemed father, in God’s memory. Let there be no violation of the law in any way, subject to legal penalties. If any professor or any other person affiliated with the universities wishes to summarise a work that cannot be directly approved for publication under the current censorship rules, it must first be submitted to our chancellery. There, it may be reviewed, censored or, depending on its nature, referred to the appropriate authority with jurisdiction over the subject matter.
