Salt, Sword, and Crozier - Books and Coins from the Prince-Bishopric of Salzburg (c. 1500-c. 1800) (Paperback)

Like the popes in Rome, the Prince-Bishops of Salzburg ruled over substantial territories as secular princes. Salt, Sword, and Crozier highlights their dual authority-the princely sword and the bishop's staff or crozier-and the basis of their economic power in their control of natural resources such as salt. The exhibition showcases books from the Salzburg prince-bishop's seminary library that were printed from the fifteenth through the early-nineteenth century, supplemented by coins minted under the authority of successive archbishops beginning in the twelfth century and ending in 1786.
