"..., furono più tardi ricompensate dalla nomina ad abate di Lipsia."
Steffani was not named abbot of "Lipsia" (=Leipzig in German) but of "Loepsingen", a village between Augsburg and Nuremberg (Nuernberg). Actually, Loepsingen was not an abbey but a parish that was held as a sinecure by noblemen (usually by a capitular of Augsburg). But since Agostino Steffani got the parish of Loepsingen, he called himself "Abbot Agostino Steffani" or "Abbot of Loepsingen".
