Germania Sacra: Historisch-Statistische Beschreibung Der Kirche Des Alten Reiches

The volumes in the Germania Sacra series dealing with the diocese of Munster present an extraordinary and complete example for the work of this project. With the publication of this book the first complete description of a diocese (in this case Munster) from its foundation right through to its dissolution in the secularisation of 1803 is available. Wilhelm Kohl describes the episcopal officials of the diocese of Munster, starting with the suffragan bishops. These are followed by the vicars-general, chancellors, notaries, secretaries, archivists and the bailiffs and treasurers of the individual Munster offices.
