[Confraternities of Selected Convents of Canons Regular of St Augustine in the Archdiocese of Prague in the Pre-Hussite period (Roudnice, Jaroměř, Rokycany and Sadská). A Diplomatic Study]

Abstract: A Diplomatic Study. 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.
