Many books deemed heretical or threatening to the faith were destroyed or hidden as a result of the Index and the accompanying inquisitions, and hundreds of printers took flight to Switzerland and Germany.

One sentence in the encyclopedia article says that books on the Index might be destroyed:

Quote:Many books deemed heretical or threatening to the faith were destroyed or hidden as a result of the Index and the accompanying inquisitions, and hundreds of printers took flight to Switzerland and Germany.

It doesn't say how many or which books were destroyed.

You said that books by Galileo and Copernicus were among those destroyed. I am unable to find evidence of this.
