Document Details : Title: Les ermites de Saint Augustin en Hongrie médiévale Subtitle: État des connaissances Author(s): DE CEVINS, Marie-Madeleine Journal: Augustiniana Volume: 62 Issue: 1-2 Date: 2012 Pages: 77-117 DOI: 10.2143/AUG.62.1.3294567 Abstract : Compared to the three other Mendicant Orders that settled down in Hungary during the Middle Ages, the Order of the Hermits of Saint Augustine is the less investigated by researchers. This article (including a table of convents and a map) focuses on four topics that have been more or less explored until now: (1) the implantation of the Order in the Carpathian Basin, (2) the religious activities and spiritual trends of the Hungarian Hermits, (3) the material running of their friaries, (4) their general situation (crisis or revival?) at the turn of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Nearly as numerous as the Dominicans, the Hungarian Hermits soon got support from the royal court and the nobility. They were highly educated, took part in missions and sometimes bishopric. The Augustinián friaries owned real estate from the beginning. Even though they occasionally came into conflicts with burghers, all of them were not declining at the beginning of the sixteenth century. |
