Third edition of a famous, beautiful illustrated chronicle on Paderborn, a city in Nord Rhein Westphalen, province of Germany, written by the Prince Bishop, Ferdinand of Fürstenberg (1626-1683). He was a poet, historian, scholar and promotor of arts and sciences. In the book many monuments are described. These monuments commemorate historical or other events or occasions. Churches, bridges and wells are also reckoned among these monuments. The monuments are beautifully illustrated with nice views. Also 3 maps are included, depicting respectively the Diocese of Paderborn at the time of the book and the Diocese of Paderborn in the ages of the Roman and the Frankish empires. The second work gives a rather compact but also detailed account of Paderborn through the ages, with an emphasis on religious and especially academic aspects. This work was written in celebration of the dies natalis of the foundation of the Academia Theodoriana of Paderborn. At the end of the 16th century due to the reformations, only a few monasteries and churches remained faithful to the catholic church. To save the Catholic cause, the cathedral chapter summoned the Jesuits to Paderborn in 1580. Theodor von Fürstenberg (1585-1618) restored the practice of the Catholic religion, built a gymnasium for the Jesuits, and founded the University of Paderborn in 1614.
