Biography
Melchior Otto von Voit von Salzburg was born in Eichenhausen, which is today part of Wülfershausen, on 19 June 1603.[1]
He served as a Landrichter (judge) in Würzburg and later as cantor of Würzburg Cathedral.[2]
He was appointed Prince-Bishop of Bamberg on 25 August 1642, with Pope Urban VIII confirming his appointment on 5 May 1643.[1] He was never consecrated as a bishop, and died with the clerical rank of priest.[1]
As bishop-elect, he founded the Ottoniana Academia (named after his patron saint, Otto of Bamberg), which later became the University of Bamberg.[2]
He died on 4 January 1653.[1]

gollark: For speed, lz4. For general compatibility and relative simplicity, DEFLATE. For performance and decent ratio, zstd.
gollark: I think the best compression ratios right now are achieved by lzma and bzip and such.
