This history of the lives of the bishops from 1693 to 1802 completes the biographies of all the bishops of the Diocese. The volume extends from the beginning of the rule of Lothar Franz von Scho?nborn until secularization under Christoph Franz von Buseck. It also examines longer-term developments, such as the development of absolutist forms of governance and the transformation of the ideal of the bishop over the course of the Enlightenment.
