Salt, Sword, and Crozier

Books and Coins from the Prince-Bishopric of Salzburg (C. 1500--C. 1800)

Beschreibung

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.
