When Corso is first seen researching on "The Nine Gates" in the library, the cover page of the book shows the name of the author, with the Latin phrase "Cum superiorum privilegio veniaque" (With Permission and License of One's Superiors) underneath it. In the novel, it is explained that this formula was used to prove the book in question was not infringing the teachings of the Church. However, the book was indeed forbidden, hinting that the author was acknowledging someone else (and not the Church) as his superiors.
