staff of that institution and to the attendants at the Archivio Segreto Vaticano. Finally, I<br />

would like to thank Soňa Černocká of the Roudnice Lobkowicz Library in Nelahozeves, and<br />

express my appreciation to the staff of the British Library, the Biblioteka Jagiellońska in<br />

Krakow, the National Széchényi Library in Budapest and the Isham Memorial Library at<br />

Harvard University. The principal research for this dissertation was undertaken with the<br />

assistance of a Krupp Foundation/CES Fellowship in European Studies and an Ernst Mach<br />

Grant of the Österreichischer Austauschdienst.<br />

My time in Vienna was made all the more pleasant through acquaintance with many<br />

people who live and work in the city. My housemates Beatrice Eipeldauer and Ines Lindner<br />

introduced me to numerous aspects of Austrian culture, both ancient and modern, and leant<br />

a sympathetic ear when the difficulties of research threatened to become overwhelming. I am<br />

grateful to them for their hospitality, and I am indebted also to Hannes Berger, Bruce<br />

Cooper Clarke, Erwin Ortner, Sarah Sargent and Rüdiger Wolf for many stimulating<br />

discussions. From the outset of work on this dissertation, Michael Lorenz has answered<br />

countless queries on matters of bibliography, biography, transcription and interpretation,<br />

and directed me to many sources of which I would otherwise have been unaware. I am<br />

deeply grateful to Lorenz for his assistance in navigating the complexities of the various<br />

institutions and for providing a model of acuity and attention to detail in his own work.<br />

Many times during the preparation of this study I have drawn on the expertise of the<br />

community of eighteenth-century scholars. For advice, comments, corrections and<br />

conversations I am most grateful to Ian Allan, John Arthur, Allan Badley, Derek Beales,<br />

Gustav Bergmeier, Bruce Brown, David Buch, Jen-yen Chen, Cliff Eisen, Stephen Fisher,<br />

Faye Ferguson, Geneviève Geffray, Ulrich Konrad, Kathryn Libin, Margaret Mikulska, Janet<br />
