Authors: Johann Ferdinand Gessl (1682-1764) was a Catholic priest at St. Georgen near Tollet, in the Grieskirchen district, Upper Austria. Joseph Dominikus Graf von Lamberg (1680-1761) was prince-bishop in the diocese of Passau and cardinal from the noble Lamberg family, in Styria, Upper Austria. He was the son of Franz Joseph von Lamberg and nephew of Cardinal Johann Philipp von Lamberg. He completed his studies in Besançon in France and in Siena, finishing them in 1694 at the Collegio Clementino in Rome. In 1723 he became the 68th Bishop of Passau. During his long tenure as Bishop of Passau, many churches and monasteries were rebuilt or redesigned in the late Baroque or Rococo style and consecrated by him. The prince-bishop was primarily concerned with the expansion of the German school system and undertook around a hundred visitation trips. The expansion of the prince-bishop of Passau's library, which began in 1732, was also supported by Joseph Dominikus von Lamberg. He is buried in the bishop's crypt in St. Stephen's Cathedral.
