Joseph II. was twice married, first to Isabella, daughter of Philip, duke of Parma, to whom he was attached. After her death on the 27th of November 1763, a political marriage was arranged with Josepha (d. 1767), daughter of Charles Albert, elector of Bavaria (the emperor Charles VII.). It proved extremely unhappy. Joseph left no children, and was succeeded by his brother Leopold II. Many volumes of the emperor's correspondence have been published. Among them are _Maria Theresia und Joseph II. Ihre Korrespondenz samt Briefen Josephs an seinen Bruder Leopold_ (1867-1868); _Joseph II. und Leopold von Toskana. Ihr Briefwechsel 1781-1790_ (1872); _Joseph II. und Katharina von Russland. Ihr Briefwechsel_ (1869); and _Maria Antoinette, Joseph II. und Leopold II. Ihr Briefwechsel_ (1866); all edited by A. Ritter von Arneth. Other collections are: _Joseph II., Leopold II. und Kaunitz. Ihr Briefwechsel_, edited by A. Beer (1873); _Correspondances intimes de l'empereur Joseph II. avec son ami, le comte de Cobenzl et son premier ministre, le prince de Kaunitz_, edited by S. Brunner (1871); _Joseph II. und Graf Ludwig Cobenzl. Ihr Briefwechsel_, edited by A. Beer and J. von Fiedler (1901); and the _Geheime Korrespondenz Josephs II. mit seinem Minister in den Oesterreichischen Niederlanden, Ferdinand Graf Trauttmannsdorff 1787-1789_, edited by H. Schlitter (1902). Among the lives of Joseph may be mentioned: A. J. Gross-Hoffinger, _Geschichte Josephs II._ (1847); C. Paganel, _Histoire de Joseph II._ (1843; German translation by F. Köhler, 1844); H. Meynert, _Kaiser Joseph II._ (1862); A. Beer, _Joseph II._ (1882); A. Jäger, _Kaiser Joseph II. und Leopold II._ (1867); A. Fournier, _Joseph II._ (1885); and J.
