This dissertation deals with life and work of Jan Prokop Schaaffgotsche (1748-1813), who was from 1785 till his own death in the lead of the newly established episcopacy of České Budějovice town. In its first part this work characterizes spiritual and social environment of the Habsburg monarchy during the period of reformed absolutism of Joseph II in which Schaaffgotsche lived whole his life. In the next part my dissertation comes closer to his origin, youth, studies, spiritual formation and years of work in various church offices until the time he was nominated by Emperor Joseph II to the post of bishop in České Budějovice. Coming part shows various important events of the first quarter century of the new diocese existence. Those are closely connected with Schaaffgotsches activities. Based on this research and critically compared with specialized literature this work thematically analyzes his relation with church and state as well as his spiritual direction and personality, together with his categorization to the broad spiritual flows of his age. Topic of this dissertation is primarily compiled on the bases of Czech and also foreign archive resources.
