Abstract
The study depicts the development of monastery historiography, ie historical writings that were written in monasteries and canons, and mainly dealt with their own history, in the Czech lands in the Middle Ages and follows the individual phases of their development. In the earliest period (11th-12th centuries), religious workers of the Benedictine monasteries (Mnich Sázavský, Hradištsko.opatovické anály, in the 13th century Břevnov, in the 14th century the abbot Abbot of Neplach) dealt with historiographical activities.
In the first quarter of the 13th century the Premonstratensians (the Abbot Jarlochf Milevsko) joined them, and from the end of the 13th century the Cistercians (The Chronicle of Žďár, The Chronicle of Zbraslav). The histographical work of Dominicans was only marginal.
In the second half of the 14th century the first Franciscan historical work appeared. The development of monastic historiography was interrupted during the Hussite Revolution.
The main bearer of the monastery historiography in the second half of the 15th century were the Franciscan-observants.
