Synopsis

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.
