In the middle ages, the mendicant order of Augustinians built four monasteries in the area of modern Slovakia, located on relatively compact territory in the historical regions of Spiš and Šariš - in Veľký Šariš, Hrabkov, Bardejov and Spišské Podhradie. Two monasteries were in smaller towns - oppidum (Veľký Šariš and Spišské Podhradie), while one was built in a larger town - civitas (Bardejov). The monastery in Hrabkov was situated in a rural environment. All of these monasteries were barely a day’s journey away from each other. This study will try to answer following questions: What was the mission of these monasteries? What function did they perform? How did they fulfil their mission to spread the Gospel? What role did their affiliation play in their foundation? The main objective will be to clarify the particular assignment of the individual priorates. It seems that it was not just about pastoral duties; otherwise a monastery would not have been built in rural Hrabkov. What then was their function?

The article is devoted to identification of the mysterious Mestris where St. Adalbert during his last journey from Saxony to Poland (at the turn of 996 and 997) supposedly founded a monastery. The story is told by the early 11th century Passion of St. Adalbert. In older literature the monastery was localized in Poland (usually in Miedzyrzecz, sometimes, but based on very poor arguments, also in Trzemeszno or Leczyca). For over half a century, however, it has been unanimously accepted that Mestris is identical to the Hungarian abbey of Mons Ferreus (Pécsvárad). That hypothesis is difficult to accept, so a Polish localization must be reconsidered. Mestris is most probably Miedzyrzecz in Western Great Poland.The existence of an abbey there is confirmed by the chronicle of Thietmar of Merseburg under the year 1005. If such identification of Mestris is accepted, it is necessary to undertake once again the search for the hermitage of the Five Brethren Martyrs (so far usually localized in Miedzyrzecz) and to reconsider the views about the journey of St. Adalbert to Poland and across Poland.

The article discusses monastic capital investments and rents deposited in the accounts of the Gdańsk Kämmerei from the second half of the sixteenth century to the end of the eighteenth century. Records found in ten Kämmerei books make it possible to propose reflections about the finances of Gdańsk and to present another aspect of religious relations in this economic and cultural centre, exceptional in the Commonwealth. Particular importance is attached to the mechanisms of establishing, modifying and terminating the deposits in both town coffers associated with economic trends and the religious atmosphere during the period under examination. In the Middle Ages, local monasteries obtained from the town of Gdańsk assorted rents and funds stemming from pious foundations and privileges. The system of such support broke down together within the onset of the Reformation. At the end of the sixteenth century, new social and religious conditions gave rise to commercial investments of monetary and capital surpluses, which from the mid-seventeenth century no longer played a greater role in the town’s economy and Church institutions. Not until the second half of the seventeenth century, after the economic crisis of the Commonwealth became conspicuous, was Gdańsk perceived as an attractive and secure site for locating money and, while experiencing economic difficulties, the town too sought sources of credit for its trade and production. This process resulted in an increasingly frequent deposit of capital in the Gdańsk town hall. At the turn of the seventeenth century, the town in this fashion drew the capital of almost all the Gdańsk and suburban monasteries as well as more distant monastic institutions, especially those in Warsaw. The best in this respect proved to be the 1701–1710 decade. The town, embroiled in the economic problems of the period, was incapable of servicing the obligations, and in about 1717 it experienced a one- or even two-percentage point reduction of the interest rates. Nonetheless, servicing the obligations remained irregular and constant delays continued for many years. The last monastic deposit was opened in 1725, and the monasteries increasingly frequently withdrew their assets from the accounts of the Gdansk communal bank. Despite all odds, even upon the threshold of the liquidation of the monasteries in Gdańsk (the cassation of the orders in the Kingdom of Prussia took place at the beginning of the nineteenth century), monastic institutions existing at that time in the city on the Motława had at their disposal an imposing number of investments, of which many survived in the Kämmerei for more than a hundred, and in one case 200, years.

The paper focuses on the communicating capacity of seals of superiors of Moravian monasteries at the end of middle ages and in the early modern age. It pays attention to the intention of the seal owners, but also to the existing seal matrices and to the impressions made by them. At the beginning an idea of the seal owner to get a seal matrix stands in the process of making seal. Paper follows different motives, which finally led to the creating of matrix and its usage. Almost every seal contains more levels of information. Information is connected and operates together, but not all of them are generally understandable and not all of them have constant validity. Next to the identifying function, which is closely connected to the credibility, legal force and validity, it is necessary to understand the seal as a mean of representation as well. Last but not least we can see the seal as a mirror to the contemporary historical context, which reflects the place of its origin and the position of its owner in the contemporary social structures.

The study presents main results of archaeological and geophysical investigations of the defunct Benedictine Monastery of St. Cosmas and Damian in Ludanice (Topoľčany district). The monastery was probably founded by the noble family of Ludanice by early 13th century. The monks abandoned the cloister at the latest in the 1st half of the 16th century. From 2005 to 2007 we conducted archaeological excavations at the site, which managed to locate the monastery and largely uncover its southern wing and partially the corner of the east wing. The south wing, which included a hypocaustum furnace was constructed in the 14th century and added to the older east wing. However, the acquired artefacts show the origins of the site in the horizon between the end of the 12th and 1st half of the 13th century. As shown by the excavations, the southern wing perished at the end of the middle Ages. In the years 2012 and 2013 we conducted a geophysical survey with the GPR method at the site. The survey has confirmed and completed the course of the southern wing and probably attested to the existence of the west wing of the monastery. The east wing, partially identified by the excavations, however, was not found. This may be explained by intentional dismantling of its architecture and the establishment of a modern period cemetery at the site. Geophysical survey seemingly identified also the abbey church, but the results in this case are not clear and will need to be verified by further field research. Based on the gathered data, it appears that the ground plan of the monastery had probably irregular trapezoidal shape with approximate dimensions of 25.5 (south wing) x 22.5 (west wing) x 21 (east wing) x 30? (church) meters.

The convents of different monasteries of the order of the Canons Regular of St Augustine concluded confraternities between each other. The tool used to conclude confraternities was a confraternity document, and this bound the convent to fulfil certain obligations. In this study, the author focuses on those monasteries whose archives are not extant. In such cases, we can only study confraternities on the basis of documents which have been kept in the archives of other monasteries. The subject of study is the confraternities among convents for monasteries in Roudnice, Jaroměř, Rokycany and Sadská, which were located within the territory of the Archdiocese of Prague. The necrology of the Roudnice monastery and that of the monastery in Kazimierz near Cracow proved to be helpful sources. For the four monasteries mentioned, a study of the documents demonstrated five confraternities. Necrologies demonstrated a number of other confraternities with the Roudnice and Kazimierz convents.

The following study is a contribution which pertain the issue of Christianisation of the medieval Kingdom of Hungary. The study is focused on the activities of missionaries, who came from the monastery of Pereo to Pannonia during the early years of the reign of King Stephen. One of the objectives of the study is to present the prevailing views on missionary activities in this area. The study also brings insights into the ideological and political context, which influenced the directions of these missions. The author of the study deals with the question of how missionary activities were affected by monastic reforms that took place in the monastery of Pereo. This monastery was a religious institution, in which syncretism of the Eastern and Benedictine monastic elements spread. At the same time, it represented a foundation for the missionary activities of its monks in the Central European area. The study also tries to fill the gap in the primary sources by introducing a significant analogy, which was the mission of the monks from Pereo in Polish „Sclavinia“.

The objective of this paper is to provide a summary of the confraternities of the convent of the Canons Regular of St Augustine in Prague’s New Town with other monasterial convents from the pre-Hussite period. The tool used to conclude confraternities was a confraternity document. With a few exceptions, this was not a jointly-issued document. It comprised two separate documents with the same wording which both convents produced. One of the prominent institutions in the newly established Prague New Town was the monastery of the Canons Regular of St Augustine at the church dedicated to Our Lady and St Charles the Great. There are three extant confraternity documents issued by the Prague convent for other convents of the Order of the Canons Regular of St Augustine, specifically for the convents in Třeboň (1376), Kłodzko (1386), and Kazimierz near Cracow (1412). We also have five confraternity documents issued by convents of the Canons Regular of St Augustine for the Prague convent. These are documents from the convents in Třeboň (1377), Rokycany (1380–1397), Lanškroun (1387), Sadská (1389), and Wrocław (1406). With the exception of the Wrocław monastery document, these documents have the same wording. Using the necrology of the monastery of the same order in Roudnice, the confraternity of the Prague convent with the Roudnice convent was proven. Medieval inventory numbers on the Prague convent documents have allowed us to demonstrate the existence of five or more now lost confraternity documents of convents issued for the Prague convent.

Around the mid–10th century Boleslav I. united the whole of Bohemia under the rule of one prince. He, thus, established the foundations of the Bohemian medieval state, which had to cope, in the initial stages of its development, with a number of systemic problems, primarily with limited economic opportunities and a lack of a more developed economic market. „The state“ represented by this Prince from the Przemyslid dynasty, therefore, took specific measures to ensure its proper functioning. It relied on the support of a class of „noble Czechs“. By conferring benefices (beneficia) on them, the Prince, entrusted to their care not merely the administration of his castles (civitates, urbes), which formed the backbone of „state“ administration, but also granted them other positions at the Prague court and in the provinces. These comites, nobiles, primates, milites, primores and so on, could not yet base their claims to power on their large landed estates and they relied primarily on their positions at the court and in the provinces. They primarily lived on their share of princely incomes and revenues. In recent times some historians have returned to earlier opinions which claimed that the early nobility in Bohemia and Moravia (10th–12th centuries) had relied on large landed possessions partly acquired, it is said, in the period before the unification of Czech territory. At the same time, it is suggested that there was a partial continuity with the traditional „pre-state“ aristocracy, possibly with the „Bohemian dukes“ (duces Boemanorum), who shared Czech territory in the 9th century and at the beginning of the 10th century (in the year 845 there were at least 14 princes). They disappeared from the stage of history with the Big Bang foundation of a unified „state“. Relatively large land possessions were also supposed to guarantee to these nobles their strong position and influence with regard to the Prince. The current study questions these views and presents other arguments as to why the possessions of the early nobility could only emerge as a result of princely service and „state“ administration. Principally, larger noble estates could have barely been accommodated there. Early settlement sites covered no more than 15–20% of the area of current Bohemia and the possessions of both the Prince and the Church dominated, with Church posssessions being derived almost exclusively from the princely benefices. If the properties of comites, primates, nobiles, milites and others can be documented, they were limited and dispersed before the mid–12th century. They were usually transferred into the hands of „lay persons“ (Church terminology) from originally all embracing princely ownership of land, often in the form of a gift of land for life (the so-called grant of benefice), the disposal of which was subject to the Prince’s consent. At times, it is pointed out that the early nobility was able to found monasteries, which would have reflected its economic strength, yet these were outright exceptions before the mid–12th century (Sedlec, Podlažice). Only after the mid–12th century were there better preconditions for the establishment and construction of larger landed estates on the part of the foremost noble families. The Czech Lands and the whole of Central Europe underwent a period of transformation and modernisation, accompanied by urbanisation, the development of exchange and the spread of minted coins. Society underwent changes and the nobility naturally changed also. A mighty wave of colonisation led to the settlement of not merely the hinterland plains and undulating countryside, but in Bohemia it also penetrated as far as the foothills of the border mountains. Foremost noble families put roots down in the newly settled territories and transferred the focus of their property interests there. In these places the conditions were ripe for the establishment of a new kind of dependence structures, the lord on one hand and the serf on the other. At the same time the circulation of chieftains in lucrative positions gradually slowed down. Their material possessions slowly overflowed into a qualitatively new „landed“ nobility (sometimes this is referred to as a so-called „privatisation“). No longer a position or a benefice but one’s landed estate dictated its owner’s influence, power and social status. These tendencies strengthened in the later stages of the 13th century. There appeared huge landed dominia belonging to a number of noble families who flourished in princely service such as the Hrabische family, the Witigonen family, the Markwartinger family. Yet, others, especially the second ranking milites and partially those yeomen who managed to preserve a certain independence, clamoured for better financial security in the newly settled terrritories. The above gave rise to a future lesser nobility. At the same time, the value of an estate held came to be assessed more rationally. It was no longer its area but its profitability, which became the determining criterion, also reflected in price relations (sale, purchase, exchange). In these processes the nobility attained features, which came to characterise it for the remainder of the Middle Ages: large landed ownership and political unification in a common „Land community“ (communitas, in the words of the chronicler Dalimil – a fence), forming a counterbalance to the ruling power.
