Résumé
This chapter assesses monasticism in medieval Central Europe. Noting the differences in the density ofthe monasteries in Central Europe and the European West, as well as a somewhat belated appearanceof these communities compared to the European medieval West, it depicts a special diversity patternedby monastic foundations and “Western” models in the organization of monasteries’ structures. Thechapter also notes some important links deriving from the proximity of Oriental Christianity,especially apparent in the monastic landscape of medieval Hungary. The common features of CentralEuropean monasticism were strengthened by interactions among the monks, regular canons and friarsof the area, who often belonged to the same regular districts and studied at the same universities.Nevertheless, each country had its own specifcities.
