Transcription: In the Capuchin Church in 112 coffins are the remains of the Imperial family from Emperor Mathias 1619 down to the present day- the ony exception being Ferdinand II buried by side of his wife at Graz. Second consort of Leopold I in a monastery & Princess Amalia in nunnery at Vienna. The Sepulchre has received 11 Emperors including Maximilian of Mexico- 15 Empresses, 1 King of Rome, 2 Queens, 30 Archdukes, 50 Archduchesses, 2 Dukes. As a rule the intestinesof those interred here are deposited in the "Princes Crypte" before High Altar ST STEPHENS and their hearts are deposed in the Loretto Chapel of Church St Augustine. In death they were divided! Some of the sarcophagi are works of art. That of Maria Theresia and her consort required two years to complete. Pope Pius Vi visted the Sepulchre in 1783. Tradition as that Napolean on his visit to it exclaimed "Vanitas vanitatum- hors as force!"; Vienna is the capital of the Austrian Hungarian Empire. Pop 1880, 1,082,812, of which 75,000 Jews, 26,500 Protestants, remainder Roman Catholics. Viennese art is a product of modern times. Its climate is changeable and its death rate 26 per thousand. For centuries Vienna ws the bulwark of Christian civilization against the advancing Turks. It was captured by the Romans early in the Christian Era and Marcus Aurelius died here in 180. Attlia and the Huns occupied it in the 5th Century. It almost disappears from history till 8th Century when it was conquered by Charlemagne. In the 10th Century it was a fief of the Babenbergers. In the 13th Century when it was conquered by Rudolph of Hapsburg and since then has shared the fortunes of that house. It has been besieged by Turks and Hungarians, captured by Napoleon in 1805 and the Prussians were at its very doors in 1866. The inner city where the streets are narrow and irregular is the old Vienna and is still the artistocratic quarter. It was formerly surrounded by fortifications which have been razed and on their site the most magnificent boulevard in the world, two miles long average width 150 feet has been built. It i the Ring Strasse. Except a few of the richer nobles all the Viennese live in flats. Notes: Page description supplied by cataloger, derived from captions and/or annotated information.
