Publication at Faculty of Education |
2011

Abstract

The documents carta visitationis are very important for all medieval historians. They describe the current situation in the monastery, problems which the monks had to face every day.

We must compare them with another sources (for example Regulations of the General Capitol), but we can find more new informations about the living behind medieval walls of monasteries
