Významné dny v životě obyvatel a příznivců minoritského konventu v Českém Krumlově mezi lety 1726-1750
The Important Days of the Inhabitants and Supporters of the Český Krumlov Minorite Monastery between 1726 and 1750

Summary/Abstract: The monastery of the Český Krumlov Minorites boasts an outstandingly well-preserved archive fund – Minorité Český Krumlov, which is stored in the State Regional Archive in Třeboň. As the monastery was a joint double convent for both the Minorites and Poor Clares, the Minorite archives also tell of the life of local nuns. Most of the Minorite collection documents are from the times of Superior Hyacinth Sperl (1690–1754), who was in charge of the Český Krumlov monastery from 1726 until 1750. The main source of information about this time above is the five-volume monastery chronicle Liber magistralis. Addiotional data about life in the monastery were drawn from the 1738 document Directoriu superioris Crumloviensis and Rituale Ecclesiae Conventus Crumloviensis. Important days were celebrated in the monastery by brothers and sisters, as well as by members of the Third Order and the Czech and German fraternity. The Minorites were on very good terms with the patron of the monastery, Prince Joseph Adam of Schwarzenberg, who oft en came for a visit. The monastery was also significant burial ground with a broad range of liturgy. The Minorites therefore provided housing and food for sixteen boy musicians-boys who accompanied liturgies and celebration meals. With the wide range of liturgies and excellent music production, the Minorites attracted throngs of people from across society to the monastery.
