Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Map mostly in Latin showing the then Diocese of Augsburg in the mid-18th century. A very unusual map as it shows not only the Roman Catholic ecclesiastical divisions such as the archdiaconates, chapters and parishes (also listed in the colums on the left and the right), but also the location of the numerous self-ruling states of the Holy Roman Empire covered by the Diocese, such as free imperial cities, imperial abbeys, imperial counties and duchies.

The diocese extended inside the Duchy of Bavaria to the east and the Duchy of Württemberg to the west. It also included the territories of the Prince-Bishopric (German Hochstift) of Augsburg. While the prince-bishop was both the temporal and spiritual ruler inside his Hochstift, he exercised only spirutual authority over the rest of his much larger diocese.

Map titled Episcopatus Avgvstanvs compendio (etc.) designed by cartographer Johann Friedrich Glasser between 1740 and 1760.
