[Confraternity of Moravian Convents of the Canons Regular of St. Augustine in the Late Middle Ages (Šternberk, Fulnek, Prostějov, and Olomouc)]

Abstract: The convents of the Order of Canons Regular of St. Augustine of the Roudnice circuit were associated by means of confraternities, the essence of which being reciprocal care for the salvation of deceased members of the convents through worship and other liturgical acts. The article describes the confraternal documents of Moravian convents from the Middle Ages that are still extant (Šternberk, Fulnek, Prostějov, and Olomouc). The archives of the monasteries in Fulnek and Prostějov no longer exist. Part of the archive of the monastery in Šternberk is preserved in the Olomouc branch of the Provincial Archive in Opava. The archive of the monastery in Olomouc can be found in the Moravian Provincial Archive in Brno (fund E 3). Confraternal documents issued by provosts and convents in Šternberk, Fulnek, and Prostějov are scattered throughout various archives in the Czech Republic and abroad. To complete the picture of the overall situation, further details are provided in the form of data from preserved necrologies of the Roudnice monastery from the 14th century and the Kazimierz monastery from the end of the 15th century.
