Medieval Monastery Gardens in Iceland and Norway
2021
Gardening was an important part of the daily duties within several of the religious orders in Europe during the Middle Ages. The rule of Saint Benedict specified that the monastery should, if possible, contain a garden within itself, and before and above all things, special care should be taken of the sick, so that they may be served in very deed, as Christ himself. The cultivation of medicinal and utility plants was important to meet the material needs of the monastic institutions, but no physical garden has yet been found and excavated in either Scandinavia or Iceland. Especially the Cistercians were well known for being pioneer gardeners, but also other orders like the Benedictines and A…
Monaster bazylianów w Wechracie w świetle dokumentów sporządzonych przed jego kasatą w 1808 roku
2019
W roku 1808 zostały sporządzone inwentarze, m.in. „Realności klasztoru bazyliańskiego werchrackiego”, dzięki którym można w przybliżeniu ocenić jego sytuację materialną. Dokumenty te są obecnie częścią zasobu Centralnego Państwowego Archiwum Historycznego Ukrainy we Lwowie. Klasztor należał wówczas do diecezji przemyskiej, dekanatu potylickiego i cyrkułu żółkiewskiego. Przyczyną podjęcia pracy nad inwentarzem była planowana konfiskata mienia werchrackich bazylianów. Okazało się jednak, że z powodu zaniedbania kasata została odsunięta w czasie, a dostępne dzisiaj regestry nie były pierwszą próbą dokonania spisu dóbr należących do bazylianów w tym trudnym okresie. Konfiskatę dóbr ruchomych i …
La fondazione del monastero di Santa Chiara di Piazza Armerina (1320-1340): un vuoto documentario
2017
ITALIANO: Il numero degli insediamenti francescani femminili in Sicilia nel XIII e XIV secolo è ridotto e la ricostruzione della storia dei pochi monasteri esistenti è resa più complessa dalla mancanza di documenti che accomuna buona parte di essi. È il caso del monastero di Santa Chiara di Piazza Armerina la cui storia trecentesca, a partire dalla fondazione, sembra essere avvolta nell’oblio. Il saggio si propone, sulla scorta dei pochi documenti rinvenuti, di chiarire alcuni elementi legati alla sua fondazione ad opera di Guglielmo Caldarera barone di Bifara e di Favarotta. / ENGLISH: The number of female franciscan settlements in Sicily in the 13th and 14th centuries is limited and the r…

Emblemática mariana. Flores de Miraflores de Fray Nicolás de la Iglesia
2009
Fray Nicolás de la Iglesia, prior de la Cartuja de Burgos, mandó decorar una capilla dedicada a la Virgen con emblemas marianos. Poco después, entre 1653-54, los insertó —añadiendo otros nuevos, hasta un total de cincuenta y uno— en un libro dedicado exclusivamente a la Inmaculada titulado: Flores de Miraflores, hieroglificos sagrados, verdades figuradas, sombras verdaderas del Mysterio de la Inmaculada Concepción de la Virgen y Madre de Dios María Señora nuestra. Se da así la circunstancia de que un conjunto pictórico origina una obra escrita. En este artículo se analizan los jeroglíficos creados por fray Nicolás explicando sus fuentes y significado. Friar Nicolás de la Iglesia, prior of t…

Klasztor miał powstać w pałacu rodziny Ostrowskich z inicjatywy matki o. Jozafata, czyli hr. Delfiny z Tyszkiewiczów Ostrowskiej (żona hr. Juliusza Ostrowskiego). Ostrowscy obiecali też pomoc materialną, np. żywność dla mnichów. Przy klasztorze miała funkcjonować szkoła, biblioteka, muzeum. Czas pobytu w Tomaszowie Mazowieckim (22 XI 1922- 9 XI 1923) wykorzystano na prowadzenie rekolekcji, informowanie kim są benedyktyni…
The Prague Roots of Polish Benedictines (in the 20th Century)
2020
As a conseąuence of the nineteenth-century dissolution of religious orders, no małe Benedictine monastery survived in Poland. Renewal of religious life was undertaken by Father Klemens Dąbrowski (1875 -1953), from 1909 a monk of the Emaus Monastery in Prague. He found a depth of spiritual life there. During the Great War he was involved in helping Polish refugees. After its conclusion, he decided to return to Poland. In the years 1919 -1923 he attempted to create a Polish foundation based on the monastery in Prague (at the Holy Cross and in Tomaszów Mazowiecki). Left without help, he did not realize his plans there. His prior, Father Arnośt Vykoukal, offered help, but he did not have the re…
