A Domonkos-rend kolostorhálózata a középkori Magyarországon
The Monastery Network of the Dominican Order in Medieval Hungary

Historical and Topographical Reconstruction

Summary/Abstract: Due to the large-scale destruction of sources and built monuments, the names of the friaries of the medieval Hungarian Dominican province (Provincia Hungariae) are mostly known from various monastery lists, and the researchers of the history of the order mostly tried to compile a list of the former friaries as complete as possible. This study attempts to connect the founding of the certainly identifiable friaries to different periods, and thus to present the development of the monastery network of the order in Hungary in its own dynamics, and illustrated with maps. In our view the four periods of medieval Hungarian order history are: 1. from the foundation of the province in 1221 to the Mongol invasion in 1241-1242; 2. the status according to Bernard Gui’s friary list of 1303; 3. the end of the fourteenth century (without Dalmatia); 4. the turn of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries (friaries created during the reform movement of the order).
