ADAMI, ADAM. - Benedictine bishop b. at Mülheim in 1610, d. at Hildesheim in 1663. He pursued philosophical studies at the University of Cologne and in 1628 entered the Benedictine abbey of St. Nicholas of Brauweiler. He was rector of the seminary of Cologne and then prior of St. James of Mainz. After the battle of Nördlingen, during the Thirty Years' War, he was charged with defending the rights of the monasteries of Swabia and Württemberg. He took part in the Congress of Westphalia and, after the peace, was sent to Rome to Innocent X, from whom he obtained the title of bishop of Hierapolis and, having returned to his homeland, was elected suffragan bishop of Hildesheim. His principal work is: Arcana pacis Westphalicae, which was printed at Frankfurt in 1698.
