Abstract

The contribution to the knowledge of material culture and everyday life within Benedictine monasteries of the second half of the 18th century deals with the equipment of the members of the last religious community in Kladruby, as it was written during the inventory of the abolished monastery property at the turn of 1785/1786. Mikrosond to the world of a monk at the baroque and enlightenment suggests that the relationship between the Baroque religiosity and the enlightenment rationality rested rather than in the enmerged conflict in the continuous interdependence of the two worlds, and that intercourse can also be seen within the private spaces inhabited by intellectual intellectuals from the religious clergy.

At the same time, the contribution can serve as a useful material for deeper exploration of so far marginally solved problems that lie on the borderline of social, ecclesiastical and cultural history of early modern times.
