England Plus Paris: Part 2: Painting of a book-burning

I didn't totally shun the renaissance paintings. Here a Christian painting of a book-burning. (Eustache le Sueur, "La predication de saint Paul a Ephese") Are they burning astrology books? If it's astrology, maybe I don't mind so much if they burn.
