In the 12th and 13th centuries, the Naumburg Cathedral Chapter grew to become one of the bishoprics' most influential clerical communities, with fifteen bishops emerging from its ranks in the late middle ages. It is one of the few clerical institutions in Germany that has existed without interruption since its founding and past the year 1803, preserving both its episcopacy and its property. This volume provides a structured source analysis.
