Abstract
This study is concerned with the post-White Mountain negotiations on ecclesiastical property, establishment of the salt treaty and the cassa salis administration between 1630 and 1710. It explains the main mechanism of the ecclesiastical salt treasury, comments on the yields from the salt tax and various points where these resources were spent.
The main intent was to establish four new bishoprics in Bohemia, which was only partly achieved in the 17th century. At the end of the 17th century, the effort to reconstruct the parish network led to establishment of a separate treasure, the so-called cassa parochorum.
Throughout the period, the papal curia feared that the Prague archbishops might manage the salt treasury independently. In the end, dissatisfaction with its management led to stricter supervision by the apostolic nuncios and visitations to cassa salis in 1710.
